Eugenics

Eugenics  is the study of how genes are passed from father and mother through generations of people plants and animals. Eugenics started to develop in the wake of turbulent economic and social problems following right after the civil war. When  the american revolution started up many started moving away from farms but the economic system would be good then get bad recession after recession. During this time they tried to explain social end economic inequalities.  But this system became know as progressivism  in this idea was scientific management. Genetics now appeared to explain the underlying cause of human social problems. The scientific origins of Eugenics is it started in the twentieth century it was a new common philosophy of human worth. They used pedigrees to make what is like a family tree to show what traits were passed on through certain generations. They sought to recognize certain patterns. They did this studies on plants animals and humans.They watched for the genes that were passed from parents to children. they kept track by making marks on the chart to keep track what was passed.But some the flaws were that it was hard to scale how smart some one is back then  and they had issues defining  traits. Very poor surveying and statistical methods. Didn't have trained employes. This impacted American society in many ways it brought the study of genes. which make it so we can study disease and viruses and many other organisms. It also lead to the discovery of how genes work and produce every thing you ever see.
