A pseudonym used to designate the
descendants of two sisters, the "Jukes" sisters, whose husbands were
sons of a backwoodsman of Dutch descent. They lived in the State of
New York, and their history was investigated by R. L. Dugdale as an
example of the inheritance of criminal and immoral tendencies,
disease, and pauperism. Sixty per cent of those traced showed,
degeneracy, and they are estimated to have cost society $1,308,000 in
75 years.
