Detailed explanation-2: -Galton’s eugenics was a program to artificially produce a better human race through regulating marriage and thus procreation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term eugenics and its modern field of study were first formulated by Francis Galton in 1883, drawing on the recent work of his half-cousin Charles Darwin. Galton published his observations and conclusions in his book Inquiries into Human Faculty and Its Development.
