More importantly, Galton's claims about blacks or his own citizens going to live in other countries
possess no scientific validity, but were based solely on the illusory assumptions of various so-called sci-
entists, brainwashed by a materialist world view, under the primitive thinking of the time.
Prejudiced and inconsistent, Galton's theses were by no means restricted to these. For example, he

also proposed that for there to be social progress, those with low intelligence and intellectual levels had
to be prevented from multiplying, and the smarter ones encouraged to do so. Otherwise, he warned,
there would be social collapse. Obviously however, real social collapse would come about when the
model proposed by Galton and the like, based on slaughter, conflict, violence, and slaughter, were put

into practice. During a lecture to the Huxley Institute in 1901, Galton claimed that "brains of our nation
lie in the higher of our classes." 111 In addition, he recommended that children of the upper class should
be identified at birth and 1,000 pounds be paid to their families. He suggested that upper-class women
should give birth to at least one extra son and daughter. 112

Galton's belief—that an increase in the numbers of people whom he regarded as superior class could
lead to social progress—is irrational, illogical, and unscientific. A great many elements lead any society
to progress, but the most important are the moral values and characters of those who make up that so-
ciety. A society whose members possess strong moral values and characters will progress swiftly, and

permanently. It is impossible for such features to be passed on genetically. If someone wants his society
to make progress, he must turn his attention to the spiritual strengthening of individuals by various cul-
tural and educational means. Galton and those like him sought to increase the numbers of the rich and
reduce those of the poor by treating human beings literally like animals in the countries in which they

were influential, and even sought to justify even murder on that account—a terrible cruelty and inde-
scribable ignorance.
Nonetheless, at Galton's prompting, the first activity of the eugenics movement in Britain was based
on birth control. This measure, taken by those who had been deceived by the deceptions of the theory

of evolution, was aimed solely at the poor and those whom they regarded as of an "inferior" race.
In the 1920s and 1930s it was thought that the numbers of the poor increasing, even as the numbers
of the upper class were going down, represented a threat. In 1925, for instance, Julian Huxley wrote the
following in Nature magazine:

The proportion of desirables is decreasing, of unde- Galton carried out an illogical and un-
successful study to determine the com-
sirables is increasing. The situation must be got in

According to the eugenicists, the first step
to ensure a balance between the "desirables"
and "undesirables" was so-called racial hy-
giene. First, it needed to be determined for

whom "racial hygiene" was desired and for
whom it was not. Exceedingly primitive and
unbelievable means were used to make that

distinction. In Britain and the USA, for in-
stance, people's heads began being mea-
sured. With these campaigns under
Galton's leadership, the sizes of peo-
ple's skulls were measured and their

intelligence allegedly determined
from the results. However, science
would later reveal absolutely no di-

rect relationship between skull mea-
surements and intelligence.
