Homo Culture

- Or The Improvement Of Offspring Through Wiser Generation (1897)

Bag om Homo Culture

Homo Culture: Or The Improvement Of Offspring Through Wiser Generation (1897) is a book written by Martin Luther Holbrook that explores the idea of improving future generations through the careful selection of mates and the passing down of desirable traits. Holbrook argues that the current state of society is plagued by degeneracy and that the only way to combat this is through the cultivation of a ""Homo Culture"" - a culture that values intelligence, morality, and physical health. The book delves into topics such as eugenics, race, and the role of women in society, and offers a vision for a future where humanity has evolved into a superior species. While some of the ideas presented in the book may be controversial and outdated by modern standards, Homo Culture remains an important historical document that sheds light on the social and scientific attitudes of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
