520    Homo Sapiens 1900 is a stunning exploration of the history
       of eugenics, race hygiene and the quest to improve the 
       human race.Emerging at the turn of the century, eugenic 
       movements spawned government sanctioned research projects,
       whose stated goals were the improvement of the human 
       species through biological means - including selective 
       breeding, sterilization, and the elimination of all 
       'degenerate' members of society. Unearthing startling 
       archival footage and long-hidden documents, Homo Sapiens 
       1900 examines the social and political undercurrents that 
       helped generate the often-feverish quest to build a 
       superior race. In the United States the American Eugenics 
       Society promoted the ratification of the world's first 
       sterilization law, while in Germany and the Soviet Union, 
       in their efforts to build utopian societies, developed 
       their own horrific applications. "There's something 
       intrinsically creepy about the scientific quest to create 
       a new and improved human being, and 'Homo Sapiens 1900,' 
       Peter Cohen's unsettling documentary on the history of 
       eugenics, mercilessly zeroes in on exactly what that is. 
       In turning people into laboratory specimens and using 
       genetic theory to try to breed superior strains of people,
       scientists play God." - The New York Times "Monumental, 
       astonishing! A bone-chilling and gut-wrenching history of 
       eugenics - aka racial hygiene - in the 20th century. 
       Highly recommended." - Video Librarian. "Powerful and 
       vivid. A stark reminder of how science can be invoked for 
       unethical purposes." - Journal of the American Medical 
       Association.
