The Death of Evolutionary Psychology

Abstract

By 1929, it was obvious that American eugenics was in decline. The impact of the growing criticism of evolutionary psychology, the financial impact of the Depression, and eventually the association with Nazi eugenics would effectively destroy American eugenics within the next decade. The association of eugenics with evolutionary psychology would help drag down the latter with the former.KeywordsBirth ControlEvolutionary PsychologyCarnegie InstituteGifted ChildHuman HeredityThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
