CNNの記事、'Are we taking evolution into our own hands?' By Juan Enriquez and Steve Gullansから。

'One article of faith that took hold in the 20th century and has only grown stronger is that we humans are all equal -- genetically, anyway. That while differences among people may seem strong because of culture and nationality, under the skin, we're the same.

There are good reasons for believing this. Eugenics, a pseudoscience developed a century ago in top American and British universities, was exported to Germany in the early 20th century with horrendous effects. Highlighting the perceived differences among races allowed monsters to justify forced sterilization, discrimination, slavery and genocide.'
