for babies which included bathing them in wine <strong>and</strong> exposing them to the elements. To<br />

Sparta, this would ensure only the strongest survived <strong>and</strong> procreated. Adolf Hitler<br />

considered Sparta to be the first "Völkisch State," <strong>and</strong> much like Ernst Haeckel before him,<br />

praised Sparta due to its primitive form of eugenics practice of selective infanticide policy<br />

which was applied on deformed children.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 12 Tables of Roman Law, established early in the formation of the Roman Republic,<br />

stated in the fourth table that deformed children would be put to death. In addition, patriarchs<br />

in Roman society were given the right to "discard" infants at their discretion. This was often<br />

done by drowning undesired newborns in the Tiber River.<br />

Sir Francis Galton initially developed the ideas of eugenics using social statistics. Sir<br />

Francis Galton systematized these ideas <strong>and</strong> practices according to new knowledge about<br />

the evolution of man <strong>and</strong> animals provided by the theory of his cousin Charles Darwin during<br />

the 1860s <strong>and</strong> 1870s. After reading Darwin's Origin of Species, Galton built upon Darwin's<br />

ideas whereby the mechanisms of natural selection were potentially thwarted by human<br />

civilization. He reasoned that, since many human societies sought to protect the<br />

underprivileged <strong>and</strong> weak, those societies were at odds with the natural selection<br />

responsible for extinction of the weakest; <strong>and</strong> only by changing these social policies could<br />

society be saved from a "reversion towards mediocrity," a phrase he first coined in statistics<br />

<strong>and</strong> which later changed to the now common "regression towards the mean."<br />

197 "...species..."<br />

"In biology, a species is one of the basic units of biological classification <strong>and</strong> a taxonomic<br />

rank. A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding <strong>and</strong><br />

producing fertile offspring. While in many cases this definition is adequate, more precise or<br />

differing measures are often used, such as based on similarity of DNA or morphology.<br />

Presence of specific locally-adapted traits may further subdivide species into subspecies.<br />

<strong>The</strong> commonly used names for plant <strong>and</strong> animal taxa sometimes correspond to species: for<br />

example, "lion," "walrus," <strong>and</strong> "Camphor tree," each refers to a species. In other cases<br />

common names do not: for example, "deer" refers to a family of 34 species, including Eld's<br />

Deer, Red Deer <strong>and</strong> Wapiti (Elk). <strong>The</strong> last two species were once considered a single<br />

species, illustrating how species boundaries may change with increased scientific<br />

knowledge.<br />

Each species is placed within a single genus. This is a hypothesis that the species is more<br />

closely related to other species within its genus than to species of other genera. All species<br />

are given a binomial name consisting of the generic name <strong>and</strong> specific name (or specific<br />

epithet). For example, Pinus palustris (commonly known as the Longleaf Pine).<br />

A usable definition of the word "species" <strong>and</strong> reliable methods of identifying particular<br />

species are essential for stating <strong>and</strong> testing biological theories <strong>and</strong> for measuring<br />

biodiversity. Traditionally, multiple examples of a proposed species must be studied for<br />

unifying characters before it can be regarded as a species. Extinct species known only from<br />

fossils are generally difficult to give precise taxonomic rankings to. A species which has<br />

been described scientifically can be referred to by its binomial names.<br />

Nevertheless, as Charles Darwin remarked,<br />
