Alva Osborn

Alva Osborn was an anthropologist who proposed the idea to the British government that the path to military superiority lay in intelligence. She asked for grant funding to set up a community of scientists and artists, of various disciplines, who would be selectively bred, so that each generation was more intelligent than the last.

The Government approved the funding, but it was kept out of public knowledge for over a century, and only exposed in 2023, after the fall of the Two-Party system, when all government information was made available to the people put in charge of forming the New Tribune.
