Rutherford insists that such approaches are unlikely to work, given the near-impossibility of discerning a specific trait from the fiendishly complex interactions of genes. In the near future, some predict, parents will be able to “choose” desirable traits in their children – either by selecting between screened embryos, or by editing their offspring’s genomes. And now, eugenics is being given a new boost by the emergence of modern genetics. In California, the practice was only banned in prisons in 2014. Even after the Second World War, enforced sterilisation persisted in many countries. Not quite, said Philip Ball in the FT: eugenicist ideas never really went away. But though eugenicist ideas flourished in the early decades of the 20th century, they were dealt a seemingly killer blow by the “genocidal atrocities” of the Nazis. His idea of “positive eugenics” (using selective breeding to raise the calibre of humans) inspired disciples from across the political spectrum, including a young Winston Churchill, the liberal reformer William Beveridge, and the birth-control pioneer Marie Stopes. The man regarded as the father of modern eugenics is the Victorian polymath Francis Galton, said Tim Adams in The Observer.

Creatures of Light and Darkness by Roger Zelazny ![]() ![]() ![]() Though the book was presented as a factual account of Haley's own family history with some "fictional embellishments," experts soon found inconsistencies between some of its claims and historical documents. ![]() Since the miniseries is an adaptation, the question of Roots' accuracy falls to its source material, and as explained by the New York Post, Haley's book has been at the center of controversy over its historical claims for years. ![]() Considering the dialogue started by the original miniseries and its legacy, new audiences may be curious about the details of the story and want to know, how historically accurate is Roots? And, now, History is reviving the miniseries nearly 40 years later with a remake airing across three networks, History, A&E, and Lifetime, beginning on Monday, May 30. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Alex Haley, it told the story of an African American family from colonialism to reconstruction and literally brought the discussion of the history of race in America into viewers' living rooms.

It was also an oblique reference to his third collection, Wintering Out, published in the same year.

The series is Grey’s Anatomy star’s Katherine Heigl’s big comeback - as both actor and producer - after she was half-banished from the industry’s A-list following some movie flops and industry chatter about her being a “difficult” woman (for calling out workplace harassment and the churning TV economy). The book, which sold 1.2 million copies, follows the pair from their ’70s teen years through their struggles as career women juggling relationships in the ’80s and ’90s and into the early aughts. So she wrote an “epic anthemic novel about women’s friendships that included all the music and the ambition and the things that we were struggling with in my generation.” Hannah told Netflix’s Tudum that she’d wanted to fill a market gap for younger boomer women, who’d been relatively absent from pop culture. The show is based on a massively bestselling 2008 novel of the same name by historical romance writer Kristin Hannah, following the ups and downs between best friends Talullah “Tully” Hart and Kate Mularkey. ![]() |
