History

Biodemography and Social Biology was first established in 1916 as Eugenical News. It was published under that title until 1953. 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.^[3] It was renamed Social Biology in 1969, as a result of the term "eugenics" falling out of fashion.^[4] It was renamed again to its current title in 2008 ^[5] and continues to publish as an independent journal after the disbandment of the Society for Biodemography and Social Biology in 2019.^[6]
