History

Copies of successive issues of the journal showing its name change from Eugenics Quarterly to Social Biology in 1969.

Biodemography and Social Biology was established in 1954 as Eugenics Quarterly. It was renamed Social Biology in 1969, as a result of the term "eugenics" falling out of fashion.[2] It was renamed again to its current title in 2008.[3]
