Langkau, Sandra Eder and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Höherzüchtung des Menschen auf biologischer Grundlage" by Paul Christian Franze is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book presents a comprehensive discussion on the advancement of human beings through biological principles, addressing both the potential for and methods of improving human traits. It dives into themes such as natural selection, hereditary traits, and the pursuit of an ideal human race, reflecting the scientific ideologies prevalent during that time. The opening of the work introduces Franze's concepts with a strong emphasis on the development of humanity as an ongoing process rather than a completed state. He argues that the current state of humanity is merely a stepping stone toward a "true" human being, which he envisions as a more perfected being akin to "demigods." To support his thesis, Franze references evolutionary theories and posits that human improvement should be pursued through conscious efforts in heredity and biology, striving for more advanced physical and mental traits. The text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the biological underpinnings of human development, inviting readers into a discussion that merges science with philosophical inquiry about human potential and the future of mankind.
