Filed under 1879, Alexander Tille, American Eugenics, aristocratic, Aryan, birth defects, Charity, Christianity, communism, Darwinism, defectives, democracy, duty, Ernst Haeckel, Evolution, feebleminded, Fit and Unfit, Germany, Madison Grant, man as animal, National Socialists, Natural selection, quote collections, race, Richard Weikart, sanctity of life, sentimentalism, social body, social organism, socialism, sterilization, The Passing of the Great Race, Virchow
