The Next Age of Man

"The Next Age of Man" explores the intersection of biology, sociology, and the future of human civilization. Albert Edward Wiggam examines the biological forces that shape human history and argues for the application of scientific knowledge to guide the evolution of the species. The work discusses how heredity and environment interact to influence the mental and physical traits of populations, positing that the next stage of human progress depends on a deeper understanding of genetic principles and biological management.

Wiggam addresses the challenges facing modern society, from the impact of industrialization to the potential decline of intellectual vigor, and proposes a vision for a future defined by enhanced human potential. This book serves as a significant historical document reflecting the early 20th-century eugenics movement and the era's belief in science as a primary tool for social improvement. It provides valuable insight into the intellectual climate of the 1920s and the development of social biology as a field of study, emphasizing the belief that mankind's destiny could be consciously directed through biological insight.
