About the authors

Edgar Schuster
1879–1969
A British writer and early researcher in heredity, he is best remembered for books that tried to popularize the ideas of eugenics in the early 1900s. His work sits at the crossroads of statistics, social history, and a deeply troubling movement that later generations have strongly rejected.
