Another interpretation, one notably favoured by Darwin's half-cousin Francis Galton, was that "Darwinism" implied that because natural selection was apparently no longer working on "civilized" people, it was possible for "inferior" strains of people (who would normally be filtered out of the gene pool) to overwhelm the "superior" strains, and voluntary corrective measures would be desirable—the foundation of eugenics.

Alia interpretatio, cui Franciscus Galton, semiconsobrinus Darwinianus, insigniter favebat, erat Darwinismum significavisse quia selectio naturalis ut videbatur homines civilizatos non iam afficiebat, genera hominum inferioria putata (qui mox ex copia genorum percolabuntur) genera superioria superare possent, et rationes voluntariae ad corrigendum aptae essent desiderabiles, quod est fundamenta eugenicae.
