How on earth did it exist before the study of genetics then? Eugenics goes back as far as 1869(Galton termed his "Hereditary Genius" to be in the field of eugenics, and he invented the term, so I think he would know). The word genetics was coined in 1905. Then there's the fact that a major eugenics "research lab" in Cold Spring Harbor was called "The Station for Experimental Evolution".
