i think you misspeeled eugenics, and i’m not entirely sure it was a mostly statesian thing as i wasn’t around back then but nietzche and some other european philosophers wrote about it a lot. i know nietzche had his writings coopted by the nazis but i’m not a huge 18th-19th century history wonk. my history wonkishness is 17th-18th century.
