NOTES
I would like to thank the following: Lyndsay Farrall, on whose work I have drawn extensively here, and who has kindly permitted me to reproduce material from his unpublished thesis; Barry Barnes, Steven Shapin and Helen Rugen of the Science Studies Unit, University of Edinburgh, and the Editors and anonymous referee of Social Studies of Science, all of whom made helpful comments on earlier drafts of this paper. 1. Francis Galton first used the term eugenics in his Inquiries into Human Faculty (London: Macmillan, 1883), 25. The concept was implicit from the beginning of his work in heredity 20 years earlier. The Greek root means 'of good stock'.
