The doctrine known as "eugenics" emerged in the late nineteenth-century as one response to the problems European nation-states faced. In an essay, explain how eugenics was related to both the work of Charles Darwin and the growth of nationalism. To what extent was it also connected to the emergence of a large, educated working class, continuing urban unrest, and changing gender roles for women and men? Can someone please help me understand this....

eugenics is the "science" of selectively breeding humans. It is when the government, or some other leadership, directs certain people to have children with certain other people to yield the most "ideal" children, and to not allow "inferior" people to have children at all.

Please read your history text and supplemental materials, and listen to your teacher. I bet if you did this, you could tell us all a thing or two about your subject. ;)
