	What is Eugenics?: Eugenics Project: A Documentary History, UVM
		Families who had become both visible and "notorious" in the previous decade of child rescue initiatives and poor relief surveys, or in the case files of private charities and state institutions and reformatories, became the unwitting subjects for genealogical study.
		Ten families (the Special Pedigrees Complete) were selected for detailed study of their cost to the taxpayers in the form of charity and rehabilitation.
		While Survey policy dictated that the privacy of the families in their files be protected by use of pseudonyms in public presentations of their findings, the use of the files by child welfare investigators and social agencies amplified surveillance on the families, fueled local hostility, and rendered their relatives vulnerable to repeated interventions.

	The Kallikak Family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kallikak Family: A Study in the Heredity of Feeble-Mindedness was a 1912 book by the American psychologist and eugenicist Henry H. Goddard.
		It was in tracing the family history of Deborah that Goddard and his assistants -- usually upper-class girls from nearby colleges -- discovered that Deborah's family of drunks and criminals was related -- through Martin Kallikak -- to another family tree of economy and prosperity.

	Human Intelligence:
		The name is fitting; the Kallikak family was divided into two strains-one "good" and one "bad"-both of which originated from a common progenitor, Martin Kallikak, Sr.
		The Kallikak study was a powerful ally to the eugenicist movement and contributed to the environment in which compulsory sterilization laws were passed in 30 states (with many retaining the force of law for decades).

	The First Psychologists
		Kallikak was a made up name, that meant "good-bad".
		Goddard released his research in "The Kallikak Family, a Study in Heredity of Feeblemindedness" and he used these results to support his Galtonian notion that intelligence was genetically determined.
		And many family members could not be traced or located at all, leading investigators to the conclusion that they never existed in the first place.

	The Vineland Training School: History: Goddard and Eugenics
		The second line was produced by an illicit affair Martin Kallikak had with a “wayward girl.” The result of this illegitimate union lead to generations of criminals, invalids, and feeble-minded individuals.
		Even the name “Kallikak” was a fabrication of Goddard’s: the name is a pseudonym derived from the two Greek words “kalos”(good) and “kakos”(bad).
		Another startling fact to mention is that The Kallikak Family was published in Germany in 1914, and again in 1933 when the Nazis came to power.

	The Kallikak Family (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The book follows the genealogy of a certain Martin Kallikak (the name Kallikak is a pseudonym derived from the Greek "kalos" and "kakos," meaning "good" and "bad," respectively), a Revolutionary War hero.
		Though Goddard was considered a true scientist in his day -- he was the first to bring Alfred Binets IQ test to the United States and to translate it into English -- his work is now regulated to the same realm of pseudoscience and chicanery as the other eugenicists of his era.
		It is easy at the beginning of the 21st century to criticize Goddard for failing to take proper account of environmental effects (nutrition and other dietary deficiencies, for example), But such knowledge was Not known in his time and certainly had Not been discussed on a scale that it is now.

		Martin later returned to Philadelphia, where he married a woman of the upper class and raised a family.
		Goddard traced the lineage of Martin Kallikak's family with his wife and found only successful, upstanding individuals of normal or better intelligence.
		Goddard's conclusion, which he published in a widely-read book entitled The Kallikak Family, was that mental retardation is hereditary and the root cause of many social problems.

	History House: Eugenics Part I: You Can’t Keep a Good Idiot Down
		The impressively large cohort of children born to each generation of the Piney Woods line (one Millard Kallikak sired eighteen children by two wives) when compared to the four- and five-child families of the "eminent" Kallikaks showed that the feeble-minded were highly fertile.
		In it, he claimed that the Juke family, in five generations, cost the citizens of New York $1.25 million, by extrapolating his study to include 1,200 family members.
		As both families shared a father, such differing traits were presumably not passed on by him.

		The Kallikak Family's latest effort May 23rd, 2007 is one giant mess of misplaced collages and experimentation.
		Any mood or atmosphere the Kallikak Family is able to set is squashed by these unheavenly and hackneyed vocals.
		Hopefully the Kallikak Family are able to learn from the disjointed mess they've created.

	:: tell-all records :: artists :: the kallikak family
		Before May 23rd 2007 was a date, he was Andrew Peterson, the reclusive mastermind behind The Kallikak Family, a folk-grounded experimental group based in Chicago, IL.
		The Kallikak Family was founded in order to musically explore the writings of now discredited psychologist H.H. Goddard, famous for his purported coinage of the term "moron." Using the concept of "feeble-mindedness" as a starting point, the Kallikaks wrote catchy, overdriven songs about subjectivity, underestimation and the large, oppressive sun.
		After a short stint as "tour bassist" for The Microphones (K Records), May 23rd 2007 discovered the Chicago underground noise movement, and embarked on a series of solo performances that combined an appreciation for ambient textures with a flair for performance art.

	DOA - The Kallikak Family - May 23rd 2007
		The Kallikak Family, whose name is taken from the subject of a 1913 case study of “feeble-mindedness” by H.H. Goddard (coiner of the term “moron”), is a group of neo-ambient, obscurist sound collectors masterminded by Santa Cruz, California resident Andrew Peterson.
		On the Family's second LP, May 23rd 2007, The Kallikaks deftly meld low-fi folk with break beats, field recordings, and pretty much anything else in the audible realm.
		Truth be told, it’s not much of a reach to compare The Kallikak Family’s everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to the broad-paletted masterstrokes of Brian Eno and Phillip Glass.

	Splendid Magazine reviews The Kallikak Family: May 23rd 2007
		A roughly hewn concept album about various moments in the life of one man (who, with shitty luck, was told by a fortune teller that he'd croak on the same date as the album's title), May 23rd 2007 is an intricate, fragile memory puzzle.
		Though the occasional harmonic chorus line is the closest The Kallikak Family ever come to lyrical content, the album evokes layer upon layer of visual phenomena, giving flesh to the waves of theremin, fragile loops and primarily organic soundscapes that live at its heart.
		The Kallikak Family have defied all expectations of experimental music; beneath the album's seemingly scattered collection of loops, instruments and non-verbal vocals, a single, searching heartbeat awaits you.

	indieworkshop.com \| music: Kallikak Family - May 23rd 2007
		Revolving around the date that a fortune-teller predicted principal contributor Andrew Peterson's death, the Kallikak Family's newest sibling is no laughing matter.
		As an exploration of specific dates and experiences leading up to May 27th 2007, an element of catharsis seems to be a major reason for the creation of this troubled record.
		However, the Kallikak Family fail to notice the gaping chasms in their music due to concentrating too hard on making the album as morbid as possible.

	After Darwin
		Henry Goddard publishes The Kallikak family: A study in the heredity of feeble-mindedness
		The scientist behind this study of a poor rural white family (inspired by a similar study of the Juke family) acknowledged that many of the people “diagnosed” in the study had been dead for generations, and that others had been diagnosed solely on the basis of facial appearance.
		That the study was initially popular underlines the fact that ideas, such as a natural predisposition for feeble-mindedness amongst the rural poor, were commonplace, and even respected, in scientific and social circles.

	Adoption History: "Feeble-Minded" Children
		Once considered scientific proof that mentality, morality, and criminality were all hereditary, the Kallikak story was thoroughly discredited by 1940.
		Even the era’s social workers, who believed that natal families should be preserved and adoptions should be rare, were relatively more optimistic than Goddard about the credentials of available children.
		By the 1930s, new and improved methods were available for uncovering “feeble-mindedness.”; Arnold Gesell devised developmental scales that went beyond mentality to measure a number of other, related developmental norms.

	All about Criminal Motivation, by Mark Gado
		Hundreds of descendents of the Juke family (a pseudonym) were traced through successive generations that went as far back as Colonial times.
		Studies of criminal families, like the Jukes and the Kallikaks, captured the imagination of the public who began to believe that there could be a “criminal” gene that was being passed from one generation to the next.
		The Kallikak Family was published in Germany in 1914 and again in 1933 when the Nazis, led by the demonic Adolph Hitler came to power.

		He reviews the Jukes and Kallikaks stories, the family trees that were supposed to show the need for eugenics (see chapter 3), and says that there are hundreds of families like them.
		The first mother is known as "Margaret, the mother of criminals." In seventy-five years the progeny of the original generation has cost the state of New York over a million and a quarter dollars, besides giving over to the care of prisons and asylums considerably over a hundred feeble-minded, alcoholic, immoral, or criminal persons.
		Another case recently studied is the "Kallikak" family.

	* Dusted Reviews - Kallikak Family *
		Andrew Peterson (braintrust of Kallikak Family, stationed in Portland, formerly of Chicago) is still alive.
		During the summer of 2005, the summer of May 23rd 2007’s release, Rollo B (or Ivan DaVilla, to his family) spent countless unemployed hours on the floor of his Chicago garden apartment, headphones sutured to his skull, absorbing Peterson’s expansive meisterwerk.
		This allowed him, after months of constant labor, to create a close facsimile of the Kallikak Family’s attention-deficient collage, and plug in a few Bill Hicks and Mitch Hedberg samples.

		All of which made me a bit hesitant to tackle The Kallikak Family’s beautiful May 23rd 2007, but, as it turns out, “ambient” and “soulful” can go hand in hand.
		May 23rd 2007 is the brain child of Andrew Peterson who, according to the back story on the record, also serves in the title role for the album.
		2007/Peterson was a touring bassist for the Microphones and that Kallikak Family’s first record was more in the folk-pop grain (and dude has a beard) and the average listener starts slowly backing out of the room.

	:: BARGE RECORDINGS ::
		The Kallikak Family serves up the stuttering "Purity Music/Purity Sound" which leads into Bird Show's "Stay High." "Stay High" is another highlight, sounding almost like a poppy Storm and Stress; all disjointed melodies and soft-spoken vocals.
		Across the course of one hour we are treated to the sublime sounds of Polmo Polpo, Loren Connors, Geoff Mullen, The Kallikak Family, Birdshow, Tim Hecker, Circle and ISIS offshoot MGR alongside less known (but equally appealing) artists The Fun Years and Animal Hospital.
		Next up is the Kallikak Family, whose track is like a glitched up, chopped and screwed version of some classic Appalachian folk tune, steel string guitar, dreamy vocals, all crunched up and stuttered into strange rhythms and droney swirls.

	Human Intelligence: Henry Herbert Goddard
		He believed that feeblemindedness was caused by the transmission of a single recessive gene.
		His 1912 book The Kallikak Family: A Study in the Heredity of Feeble-mindedness purported to prove this through an examination the differences between two branches of a single family tree.
		Goddard was a eugenicist, and his views on population growth and control were very similar to those of the Englishman Francis Galton (1822-1911).
