Eugenics is based on genetic principles that are independent of
evolution. It is just as compatible with creationism, and in fact at
least one young-earth creationist (William J. Tinkle) advocated
eugenics and selective human breeding (Numbers 1992, 222-223).
Many eugenics arguments, such as the expected effect of selective
sterilization and the results of interracial mating, are based on bad
biology. Better biology education, including the teaching of
evolution, can only counter the assumptions on which eugenics is based.
