 the 1950s geneticists had come to partially understand the role that recessive genes play in certain hereditary disorders, some of which were obvious (e.g. Sickle Cell Anemia), others presumably concealed within morbidity and mortality statistics. These possible

 latent effects were very much on the minds of those, such as Hermann Muller, Linus Pauling, and George Beadle, who were critical of atmospheric nuclear testing. Their concern was a latter day expression of what had been a long-standing obsession of the eugenics

 movement Ц the fear of cumulative racial degeneration and decline. This presentation examines how these ideas were articulated in the context of the nuclear fallout debate.</font></i></div>
