      This study follows the history of the eugenics movement from its roots to its heyday as the source of a science of human genetics. The book points to 19th-century social reform as contributing to the later eugenics movement. The text treats the statistical methods involved in human genetics historically, in a way that allows the reader to follow their development and tie them to their context within the eugenics movement. It provides a historical introduction to the current problems connected with the huge international projects for the mapping of the human genome, describing methods developed in the 1980s which have created new interest in the pin-pointing of the genes for diseases such as Huntington's chorea.
