Publisher's Synopsis

Man's Mission On Earth: A Contribution To The Science Of Eugenics is a book written by Robert Johnstone Kahn and published in 1902. The book discusses the idea of eugenics, which is the study of how to improve the human race through selective breeding. Kahn argues that humans have a duty to improve their own race through careful selection of mates and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. He also discusses the role of education in creating a better society and the importance of maintaining genetic diversity. The book is a product of its time and reflects the prevailing attitudes towards race and class, which may be considered controversial by modern readers. However, it provides an interesting insight into the early development of eugenics as a scientific field and its impact on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
