Francis Galton - The Comparative Worth of Different Races
- Francis Galton assessed the worth of different races using a grading system, and decided that negroes on the whole were two grades less than Anglo-saxons, based on characteristics he had observed.
- He thought that savages were less "fit," based on their extermination from continents. He did not think this was because of colonization, but because they could not support themselves.
- He thinks that we cannot keep up with this modern civilization, and need to enhance our skills and abilities.
