Background:
The Apgar Score is a method of determining a newborn's condition and
chances of survival within the first sixty seconds after birth.
Quotes:
1961
--Eugenics: "Man as a species for experimental study [on congenital
anomalies] is almost hopeless. He marries for love, not eugenic reasons"
(1961 "Human Congenital Anomalies: Present Status of Knowledge", Apgar,
American Journal of Diseases of Children, v. 101, #2, Feb., p. 250)
--Folic Acid: Cure for Spina Bifida Overlooked "... Thiersch ... has used
aminopterin, a folic acid antagonist to produce abortion in young women
with active tuberculosis. If too small a dose of the chemical is
administered and abortion is not produced, there is a 100% incidence of
abnormal offspring ... There is no real proof that an ample diet during
pregnancy is accompnaied by healthier infants ... Penrose and Stevenson
[ES] are especially active in epidemiological investigations in Great
Britain and Ireland in relation to congenital malformations. There is a
surprising incidence of anencephaly in Dublin, exceeding that of Paris by
a ratio of 20:1" , ("Human Congenital Anomalies: Present Status of
Knowledge", Apgar, American Journal of Diseases of Children, v. 101, #2,
Feb., p. 251) In 1991 it was discovered that lack of folic acid in the
mother's diet caused the condition. The World War II diet reduced spina
bifida and anencephaly in Britain so there was evidence in 1945 that diet
affected these conditions. But this link was ignored for forty five
years. There is no reason for most of the cases of spina bifida since
the war except the fixation of Stevenson, Apgar, C.O. Carter and other
eugenicists on a genetic explanation together with their dominant
position in the groups such as the March of Dimes. But such tragedies
will be repeated as long as eugenicists control these groups.)
--Cleft Palate: "excessive cortisone in mice is a reproducible way to
produce cleft palate" ("Human Congenital Anomalies: Present Status of
Knowledge", Apgar, American Journal of Diseases of Children, v. 101, #2,
Feb., p. 251)

Quotes:
"... the 'biological repentance and reformation' recommended by Dr.
Earnest Hooten q.v., Harvard anthropologist (see W. W. Howells q.v., ed.
note), are heartily urged by the clinical psychologist, who in the course
of mental measurements has a ringside seat at the struggle for existence
of the mentally unfit ... a biological house cleaning ... is long overdue
... then perhaps civilization may advance with the survival of the
fittest" (from 1938 "The Moron Menace to Civilization", Birth Control
Review, p. 53)

1940 "We, too, recognize the problem of race building ... It is entirely

Quotes:
Statement of the Eugenic Conservation Ethic: "The problem of man's place
in nature ... is the problem of the relations between man's developing
culture and other aspects of the biosphere. ... This makes the split
between the social and biological sciences particularly unfortunate.
Economics and ecology ... as fields of knowledge ... are cultivated in
remotely separated parts of our universities ... the humanities (have)
long forgotten about nature ... Surely there is some way of putting all
these things together ... The matter has some urgency ... we can create
... we can produce ... we have achieved ... control ... yet ... attempts
to look at man's future are gloomy ... continuing warfare ... dizzy rate
of population growth, and the exhaustion of resources ... we have lost
the faith of the Eighteenth Century ... and the .. faith of the
Nineteenth Century ... Man can't change the laws of cultural evolution or
organic evolution ... but understanding the laws and acting with the laws
he can influence the consequences ... the long term threat is the
cancerous multiplication of the numbers of men ... we must make every
effort to maintain diversity ... Science has undermined the dogmas and
revelations ... a rationale for conduct ... will have to consider not
only the problems of man's conduct with his fellow man, but also man's
conduct toward nature ... we need to develop an ecological conscience"
(The Forest and the Sea p. 250 -257)
Background:
Eugenics is often advanced by families. For example, the Osborn family
(Henry Fairfield Osborn, Fred Osborn, Fairfield Osborn, John Jay Osborn)
is related to the Dodge family (Cleveland E. Dodge) and to Newell Brown.
In England this tendency is very marked, especially in relation to the
Darwin family. The Darwin are related to the Wedgwoods, the Huxleys, the
Keynes (the family of John Maynard Keynes), the Langdon Downs (the family
of the discoverer of Downs syndrome), the Brains, the Adrians, the
Arthurs (the family of the doctor who starved to death John Pearson, a
Downs syndrome baby), and the Barlows. According to Philip Bloom of the
English Eugenics Society, the Darwins and other family grouping like them
run England. (see Uncommon Families)
Similarly, Bates' wife was a descendant of Alexander Graham Bell, a
family which has always been much involved in eugenics.
Alexander Bell himself supported eugenics. The National Geographic
magazine is controlled by his descendants, the Grosvenors. The National
Geographic has been advocating contraception as the solution for the
problems of displaced native peoples for some time. In the December 1988
issue, it pledged itself to work what it calls "a better knowledge of
geography".
But by "a better knowledge of geography" is meant eugenics as outlined
above by Marston Bates. In "Will We Mend Our Earth" Gilbert Grosvenor
explains that "the dark side of technology" comes from the number of
people using it. He says that "electric lamps ... automobiles ... air
conditioning ... refrigerators ... Their destructive impact has come with
the surge in their popularity, in the world's bulging population ... ".
But experts feel that the problems are not a cause for despair because
"examples of success were cited frequently. China, once considered the
vanguard of the population explosion, has curbed its growth to near
replacement level." Grosvenor pledged to use National Geographic
resources "to alert the public to the dangers outlined ... With all the
tools at our disposal ...". Bates' wife was a granddaughter of
Alexander Graham Bell
Schools of Public Health and Population Programs:
Population programs at school of public health "Such programs, shaped to
train cadres, are not rare ... [in the population field] ... impact on
government depended on the research programs, but long-term survival was
largely determined by the development of teaching programs ... [the Univ.
of Pennsylvania program] "is unique in that it has in recent years
developed a specialization in Africa with funding from the Rockefeller
Foundation" (1986 Caldwell, p. 155)

Background:
In the Twenties, Dag Hammarskold's father and the Rector of the
Karolinska Institute (awards Nobel Prizes) helped found a state
institute of race biology in Uppsala. In 1956 Kurt Hirschhorn
received a fellowship from the Population Council to study at the
State Institute for Human Genetics, Uppsala, Sweden under Jan Book.
Whether these two Institutes are the same is an area where research
is needed. Another area is the question of the influence of Dag
Hammarskold's father and brother on the European Court at the Hague;
and the interplay of this with Swedish (not to say Nordic) race biology.

is evidenced by every Indian Census Report until 1951 (the one that was
presented with great effectiveness to the 1954 World Population
Conference in Rome)" John Caldwell, Limiting Population Growth and the
Ford Foundation, p. 4; Many Indians were members of the English Eugenics

Institute (see list of English Eugenics Society members) while Lady Rama
Rau was associated with the Indian Eugenics Association (1986 Caldwell,

Background:
1993 Rep. Cardiss Collins asserted that the NCAA Data Analysis Group was
using members of the Beyondism Foundation to develop eligibility
standards. The Foundation is based on R.B. Cattell's ideas. Rep.
Collins quoted Cattell as saying: "Probably, a positive eugenic condition
could be most simply established by an ethic of more children from the
socially more successful." The story was covered on the sports pages.

Davis, Dr. Katharine B.; Advisory Council 1929
1913 First General Secretary, Bureau of Social Hygiene; former
commissioner of Charities and Correction, New York; 1913 superintendent
of Bedford Hills Reformatory for Women
Background: The Bureau of Social Hygiene was a John D. Rockefeller Jr.
project. Its purpose was `the study, amelioration and prevention of
those social conditions, crimes and diseases which adversely affect the
well being of society'. It had a Social Darwinist orientation. Davis
sought to create a Criminalistic Institute in which women convicted of
crime would be studied and those incapable of reform would be permanently
detained to keep them from perpetuating their kind. Rockefeller gave
$200, 000 to set up the Institute, which operated out of the Bedford
Hills Institute where Davis was superintendent and the New York City
Courts (see L. E. Bisch). C.B. Davenport was associated with this
enterprise. Speaking of the BSH he said: "Would that its [our country's]
motto were : All men are born unequal" (from Mehler, Sources in the Study
of Eugenics, Mendel Newsletter, Nov., 1978. In 1913 in England a law
sponsored by the Eugenics Society was passed which allowed permanent
detention of the feebleminded. In 1970 two women detained since 1923
under this law were removed from an insane asylum after it was determined
that they were not insane but rather had been pregnant and unmarried in
1923. (see David Suzucki' book on madness)

Biology of Violence, BioScience, May 1994. This report discusses work
done at the Institute of Behavior Genetics in Colorado, which is headed
by John C. DeFries. The Institute says that genes contribute to alcohol
and drug abuse in individuals with an anti-social personality disorder.
The Report also discusses fetal exposure to testosterone. According to
the BioScience article, the Report says that "girls who were accidentally
exposed to androgenic steroids in utero showed an increased tendency to
be more aggressive than their peers whereas boys who were accidentally
exposed to anti androgenic steroids were not as aggressive as their

Publications:
1992 editor, Population and Development Review (the journal of the
Population Council); 1991 drew up plans for a study week by the
Pontifical Academy of Sciences. He prepared the background paper for
this meeting. The paper identifies the Population Council view of the
important demographic phenomena, namely: rate of population growth,
absolute population change, change in population structure, and
international differences in demographic patterns. Population and
Development Review planned to devote a Supplement to this conference.
(see L. Gedda q.v.., ex-head of Italian Catholic Action)
Background:
Influence of the Population Council:
The Population Council, which was founded by Frederick Osborn and John D.
Rockefeller III, had a major influence in developing US population
policy. The major players in this development were eugenicists. This
history is explored in an article "The Rockefeller Foundation, the
Population Council and the Groundwork for New Population Policies" by
John B. Sharpless of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The article
was published in the Rockefeller Archive Center Newsletter, Fall, 1993.
The following are the major points made by this article. I urge those
interested in population policy to obtain the whole article.
" ... I [John B. Sharpless] have been engaged in an extensive study of
the role of the United States government in determining the direction of
world population and resources issues since 1945 ... the impact of the
nonprofit sector in defining the terms of the public policy debate on
population and economic development was so important that it was
impossible to complete my study without an extended stay at the
Rockefeller Archive Center, which held ... the files of the Rockefeller
Foundation (RF), the records of the Population Council, and the personal
papers of John D. Rockefeller III ... Following are some of the initial
observations generated by my research. Foundations and individual
philanthropists are important in understanding the impressively quick and
nearly unanimous change in attitudes and ideas about population that
occurred during the 1960s. ... one crucial factor was the development of
a safe relable means of family planning ... The philanthropic community,
with its subsidy of research and institution building in the 1940s and
1950s played a decisive role in laying the groundwork for the process of
change. But it did more than simply support contraceptive research, for
the nonprofit sector was where the debate over the population problem
actually played itself out, ultimately defining how the policy issue
would be viewed in the period which followed. [emphasis added] ... [the
Population Council made sure that] ... research would take place in both
the social as well as the biological sciences ... this effort was not
simply an exercise in pure science but one which aimed specifically at
policy ... not only the legitimation of the `science' of demography but
also the acceptance of demography as a policy science ... they were
slowly encouraging an evolution in thinking among `population
specialists' to view intervention in demographic processes (particularly
fertility) as not only appropriate but necessary. ... the 1950's
witnessed the creation of a world wide network of `population experts'
which had a core body of knowledge and a common mode of discourse: a
singular shared set of assumptions about how population dynamics worked,
... and the terms under which intervention was appropriate. A
consistency in methodology, analysis and language was forged by ... [a]
small group of scholars located primarily in the U.S. but also in
Britain, India and East Asia. The power to accomplish this task was based
on their relationship with the philanthropic community. In addition to
the RF and the Population Council, other Foundations active in this area
included, the Ford Foundation, the Milbank Memorial Fund and, to a lesser
extent, the Carnegie Corporation, and the Conservation Foundation ...
also ... the `great benefactors' of population studies, a cadre of
wealthy philanthropists ... who often approached this issue with almost
evangelical fervor ... the most important among this group was John D.
Rockefeller III (JDR 3rd .... the depth of his resources .. he used his
influence with leaders throughout the world and lent the weight of his
family's name ..." [but the Rockefeller Foundation was reluctant] "to
provide large funds in this field" and "very slow to move on the issue"
which "eventually prompted JDR 3rd to move independently to create the
Population Council in 1952. ... The question of population policy always
raised the issue of birth control, which was still politically taboo. ...
[and also there was a] lack of consensus on what specific goals were to
be pursued ... If, the [RF] directors asked, the problem of expanding
population was as serious as JDR 3rd, Marston Bates, Marshall Balfour and
Frak Notestein suggested [then what program should be established?] ...
The internal reports which circulated among the RF staff became the basis
for Population Council programming. Marshall Balfour and Frank
Notestein, who were at the center of RF discussions, moved on to assist
the Population Council in its early years. ... Bates's report on
population problems ... was passed on to the Ford Foundation, which used
it as part of their evaluation of the population problem. The Ford
response was to move forward and offer the Population Council its first
major outside support! ... By the end of the 1950s ... [JDR 3rd] and the
leadership within the Population Council had expanded the base of support
for intervention in population problems. They had promoted the training
of experts and assisted in supporting contraceptive research. The way
now smoothed and well-paved [!, ed. note], the RF could enter the field
without controversy or discord."

Background
William Earl Dodge (1805-1883) founded Phelps Dodge & Company, the
largest US. importer of metals in the nineteenth century. He owned
timber in Michigan, a copper mine in Minnesota, and railroad stocks. In
1882 he bought the Copper Queen Mine, in Arizona.
Through what mechanism did control of these resources pass from the
Indians to the Dodges? Would it not be just for the Dodges (and the
Harrimans and Rockefellers) to give the Indian tribes a share in the
corporations which took a given tribe's resources? a share which would be
theirs for as long as the grass grows and the rivers run? The share
could be related to the amount of public money spent e.g. cleaning up
environmental damage caused by these corporations while owned by these
families; paying interest on the national debt incurred fixing track for
the Union Pacific. This money could be used first to build the great
Indian universities of which Red Cloud dreamed. Afterwards, the educated
tribes could shape their own destinies with their share of the resources
whose value had been increased by industrialization. They would be a
good influence on conservation.
Grace Hoadley Dodge (1856-1914), granddaughter of W. E. Dodge, funded the
New York College for the Training of Teachers (1887) which became
Teachers College (1892) of Columbia University. She helped found the
YWCA and was its first President (1905-1914)

Background:
"Richard Lynn's Evolutionary Account of Racial Differences in
Intelligence"
"Richard Lynn's Evolutionary Account of Racial Differences in
Intelligence", an article by Maria T. Phelps in Mankind Quarterly (Spring
1993, p. 295 ff) helps us to understand how all the different elements
funded by the Pioneer Fund fit together. J.P. Rushton offered "support
and helpful comments " on earlier drafts of this article.
Miss Phelps tells us that "results from a number of studies examining
genetic influences on intelligence, social attitudes and altruism, as
well as the findings from the studies of monozygotic twins reared apart
(e.g., Bouchard, Lykken, McGee, Segal and Tellegen, 1990; Rushton 1990)
point to the profound impact of genes in the determination of human
behavior." The Pioneer Fund is helping support the Minnesota Twin
Study, see Bouchard q.v. for more on the study
Miss Phelps links the results from the twin studies to Darwinian
evolutionary theory. "Clearly students of human behavior can no longer
ignore the explanatory power of neo-Darwinian biology ... There is no
logical reason why the evolutionary principles that account for so much
of the variability in animal behavior cannot also be used to the same
effect for human behavior." The Pioneer Fund is supporting the Charles
Darwin Research Institute in its studies on human sociobiology
But Miss Phelps says that "when evolutionary principles are applied to
the study of racial differences in behavior" many social scientists
attack the project instead of the data. The Pioneer Fund gave money to
study the politicization of science with respect to race. see R.A.
Gordon q.v. and Linda Gottfredson q.v. for more information.
Miss Phelps tell us that evolutionary theories "to account for racial
differences in intelligence and behavior have been proposed" (p. 296)
including that of Richard Lynn. Lynn's model "stresses the role of the
ecological niche in shaping intellectual and cultural differences between
the races (p. 296) ... The universality of racial differences in
intelligence test performance and cultural complexity lead Lynn to
suggest that they [race differences] must have evolved in accordance with
the general principles of natural selection ... (p. 296) ... The problems
of survival in cold northern latitudes ... required an increase in brain
size and intelligence" (p. 297) The Pioneer Fund is supporting research
into Lynn's theory through the Atlas Institute. It is also supporting
the studies of intelligence of A. Jensen and H.J. Eysenck, studies Lynn
relies on. These electrophysiological studies are supposed to be free of
cultural bias.
Lynn believes that "the reason Mongoloids have a more highly developed
general intelligence than Caucasoids lies in the colder winters they
experienced." But American Indians who are Mongoloids do not have a
higher general intelligence than whites. How to account for this, asks
Miss Phelps? Lynn's explanation is that the glaciation period called
"Wurm", which happened about 24,000-10,000 years ago raised Mongoloid
intelligence; but American Indians had already crossed into America and
so did not have their IQ's raised. (p. 298) This supposes that Indians
got to America ten to thirty thousand years earlier than most
anthropologists think they did.
Here, says Miss Phelps, Lynn is disagreeing the work of Joseph H.
Greenberg, Christy G. Turner II, and Stephen Luke Zegura (q.v.) and with
the work of L.L. Cavalli-Sforza (q.v.) (p. 298-302)
( For an account of the controversy over arrival time of the Indians in
North America, read "Science and the Citizen, Early Arrivals", Scientific
American, February 1992. One of the sites mentioned by Lynn is in
Pennsylvania, a state in which many eugenic society directors, directors
who are anthropologists, are now concentrated. This is an area in which
Eugenics Watch research is needed.
The history of anthropology is strewn with the bones of error and fraud.)
Miss Phelps proposes to save Lynn's theory about the effect of glaciation
on intelligence by the suggestion that disease and war brought by the
Spanish (Catholics) wiped out the intelligent Indians. "Unlike the
Macedonian policy in Persia ... the [Spanish] conquerors engaged in mass
executions of the upper classes ... disease and war could also affect the
populace by selective culling of the more intelligent members of
Amerindian populations, just as World Wars I and II are suspected by
some as having had a dysgenic impact on Europe." (p. 303, 305)
Miss Phelps study ends here.
However, it is clear that if Lynn's theory is accepted, then we have
accepted a theory of African inferiority. Furthermore, the work of
Gordon and Gottfredson will kick in at this point, work which links crime
to genetics.
And then the neo-Nazi links of the Pioneer Fund will enter into the
policy making process in America. Do we want this?
