Know about the book -

Eugenics and the Nature-Nurture Debate in the Twentieth Century is written by A. Gillette and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0230608906 (ISBN 10) and 9780230608900 (ISBN 13).

Gillette shows that the sciences of sociobiology and evolutionary psychology were undergoing rapid development in the early Twentieth century. However, many of the early researchers in these sciences were also eugenicists. With the rise of behaviourism and the reaction against eugenics in the 1930s, any scientific claims that behaviour might be influenced by heredity were suppressed for ideological reasons.
