History

Biodemography and Social Biology was established in 1916 as Eugenical News. It was published under that title until 1953, during which time it was "the primary source of eugenic-related events and news in the United States". It was renamed Eugenics Quarterly in 1954, when it was launched by the American Eugenics Society as a scholarly journal focused on eugenics and related subjects.[2] It was renamed Social Biology in 1969, as a result of the term "eugenics" falling out of fashion.[3] It was renamed again to its current title in 2008.[4]
