Anybody Remember the Jukes and the Kallikaks?
|
From the news stories about this case I had to create a diagram just to keep the players straight. All four parents (or should I say "breeding partners"?) seem to have been lowlifes of one kind or another, and that's not mentioning their other associates.
Little Lily Peters looks adorable in her photographs, but given her background, odds are that the poor child would have grown up to be just like her other family members.
These families sound like poster children for a new eugenics movement. Was Henry Goddard really on to something?
Best regards,
