Eugenics literally means "of good birth" was coined by Francis Galton cousin of Darwin. Galton concluded that if certain desirable traits were bred in animals such as horses or whatever animal, couldn't it be the same for humans? His theory was adopted from his observations of animals and of course Darwin's theory of "survival of the fittest". Galton said that traits such as intelligence and beauty could be bred. But before Darwin or Galton, the Spartans of ancient Greece practiced eugenics by making their women physically fit, and of course throwing out children who were weak in the body and mind in their infancy, because of this Sparta produced the finest army the world has ever seen. Can then eugenics be applied to Hamites to preserve traits of intelligence and genetic purity? Can Hamites preserve the unique blondism trait of Amazighs (Berbers), and or the unique traits of Cushites? Or intelligence amongst ourselves? Discuss guys what do you think?

Eugenics principles are actually quite often invoked by modern human groups; they just go by different names. For example, in many Latin American communities, there exists a concept called blanquiemento ( branqueamento in Brazil), whereby an attempt is made to "whiten" the society as a whole through social engineering. Then we have the infamous one drop rule in North America, wherein folks with even the most minor amounts of Negroid admixture are labeled "black" so as to preserve at any cost the white bloodlines. However, this is ultimately a self-defeating strategy because by continually forcing mixed-race or predominantly Caucasoid peoples to identify as black instead of simply acknowledging their actual biological affinities, one inadvertently creates a new distorted racial paradigm in which many actually black people think that they are now entitled to claim as their "own people" any individual or social group with so much as trace amounts of Negroid admixture. Consequently, the "black" community is actually through time artificially enlarged and "whitened". It's precisely this kind of acquisitive mindset that the one drop rule has engendered in many New World blacks which is largely responsible for the Black Egypt debacle and other Afrocentric farces. This is one major reason why we don't really see much of an appetite for Afrocentrism amongst the Negroid communities in Sub-Saharan Africa but definitely do in the New World. The one drop rule has also received major backlash in the U.S., as mulatto, mestizo and otherwise predominantly Caucasoid or Native American community groups recently banded together and demanded that the census be officially amended to accommodate all of those who do not identify as simply "black" or "white" or "Asian". They got what they fought for too. Since the 2000 U.S. census, respondents who identify as belonging to multiple ancestries can now check more than one of the presented ethnicity categories. On a more individual level, it could perhaps also be argued that a person invokes eugenic principles whenever he or she chooses a sexual partner according to certain pre-meditated physical preferences that he or she would (whether consciously or subconsciously) like to see perpetuated in his/her children. Traits such as tall stature, narrow facial features, etc.. So eugenics is in fact a day-to-day reality, even if it's not always acknowledged or appreciated as such.

True however I was wondering if we Hamites can use this pseudoscience for our benefit? To preserve certain traits and so on.....

Assuming you are referring to population-wide initiatives, an actual social program of eugenics in this day and age would imho be next-to-impossible to implement. Certainly not without the consent of others, both practically and morally-speaking.
What is feasible is basically informing Hamitic peoples about their actual background for their own edification and so that they make intelligent choices for themselves in all key areas of their lives. As such, our approach is essentially educational.
We are now in a post-post-Hamiticist era. Modern science (especially genetic studies) has overwhelmingly vindicated the work of pioneering scholars like Charles Gabriel Seligman; authorities whose invaluable contributions to Hamitic history have been unfairly attacked by lesser writers. This board documents these game-changing discoveries and also addresses the latest controversies, such as the bizarre Amarna mummy saga.

In two or three decades from now we probably have widespread advanced genetic engineering whereby one can select certain traits for your offspring fairly cheaply. So eugenics is just a waste of time for now.
