Eugenics manifesto was the name given to an article supporting eugenics. This manifesto was published in the journal Nature in 1939, titled Social Biology and Population Improvement. The signatories are listed below.

"The Second World War had already begun, and the authors explicitly decried antagonism between races and theories according to which certain good or bad genes are the monopoly of certain peoples."
