thumb| Auguste-Henri Forel (1 September 1848 – 27 July 1931) was a Swiss myrmecologist, neuroanatomist, psychiatrist and former eugenicist, notable for his investigations into the structure of the human brain and that of ants. He is considered a co-founder of the neuron theory. Forel is also known for his early contributions to sexology and psychology. From 1978 until 2000 Forel's image appeared on the 1000 Swiss franc banknote. Quotes Der Nordamerikaner verachtet die Landarbeit und überhaupt die Handarbeit, vor allem für die Frauen...Er möchte alles durch Maschinen und Handel ersetzen, zentralisieren etc., um nur geschäftlich geistig zu leben, und entsprechend zu geniessen. Amerikanische Frauen halten es für eine Herabwürdigung des Weibes, etwas schwerere Muskelarbeit und besonders Landarbeit zu verrichten. Das sind Überreste aus der Zeit der Sklaverei, wo man solche Arbeiten den Negern überliess und vielfach heute noch überlässt. Weil sie möglichst lang jugendfrisch bleiben, sich einen rosigen Teint bewahren und das Welken ihrer Reize ver-meiden möchte, weil sie ausserdem die Gefahren, Schmerzen und Folgen der Niederkunft, sowie die Last der Kinder fürchtet, zeigt ferner die Nordamerikanerin...im allgemeinen eine grosse Abneigung gegen Schwangerschaften, Geburten und Kinderstillen, überhaupt gegen grössere Familien. The true American citizen despises agricultural work and manual labor in general, especially for women. His aim is to centralize labor by means of machinery and commerce, so as to concern himself only with business, intellectual occupations and sport. American women consider muscular work and labor in the country as degrading to their sex. This is a relic of the days of slavery, when all manual labor was left to negroes, and is so to a great extent at the present day. Desirous of remaining young and fresh as long as possible, fearing the dangers and troubles of childbirth and the bringing-up of children, the American woman has an increasing aversion to pregnancy, childbirth, suckling and the rearing of large families.
