Wikipedia description:

The Jukes family was a New York family studied in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The studies are part of a series of other family studies, all of families with manufactured names including the Kallikaks, Nams and Hill Folk. These studies were often quoted as arguments in support of eugenics, though the original Jukes study by Richard L. Dugdale in 1874, placed considerable emphasis on the environment as a determining factor in criminality, disease and poverty (euthenics).
