Everything you say makes sense, but none of it has to do with eugenics. It has to do with assortative mating. Eugenics is about socially driven desirable trait selection (where a trait can be what kind of family you come from). The social is the most important part. Not the trait selection.
Individual trait selection allows a multitude of traits to thrive. Social trait selection tends not to.
- AstralStorm 4y agoAssortative in biological terms pertains to some biological traits. However, people more often assortative mate within thier social group. So you get an intersection of both but with the social factor vastly enhanced compared to biological. You cannot easily have children with someone you never met, after all, barring IVF with an unknown donor.
