Introduction by J B S Haldane ands edited by him also. The author acknowledges help in the genetics section from Dr Morton and D Schweitzer. The website "TextBook History" note that the book became a bestseller on its publication in 1939, noting it as " . an excellent layperson's primer on the state-of-the-art in human genetics and heredity, and a serious critique of the racist, nativist and even anti-homosexual sentiments common among early eugenics supporters." This is important because Scheinfeld acknowledges the importance of the study of human inheritance while disassociating himself from the views on eugenics expressed by hard-line proponents, including those who he felt misapplied the science to express support for fascist views of humanity.…

First edition of this 1963 scientific progress conference anthology. Octavo, original publisher's cloth, with eight illustrations. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Ira Goldblatt. Uncommon in this condition. Man and His Future is an anthology derived from a 1963 London symposium sponsored by the Ciba Foundation that brought together sixteen internationally recognized biologists to discuss the long-term prospects of human evolution and scientific progress. Among its most significant contributions is J. B. S. Haldaneâs essay, âBiological Possibilities for the Human Species in the Next Ten Thousand Years,â which contains what is widely regarded as the first scientific reference to the concept of human cloningâ"marking the initial use of the terms âcloneâ and âcloningâ outside of agricultural contexts. The collection also features a contribution by Julian Huxley, whose evolutionary humanism and familial connection to Brave New World underscore the intersection of science and speculative ethics.…
