Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the inheritance of natural ability through intelligence tests, school grades, and family lineage. By studying data from British university students and schoolboys between 1800 and 1892, the author investigates the influence of genetics on intellectual achievement. The author employs statistical techniques to quantify the correlation between intelligence levels of fathers and sons, as well as brothers, concluding that there is indeed a significant hereditary component to intelligence. The extent of this influence is presented as a fraction, enabling readers to grasp the strength of the correlation. The book explores the complex interplay between genetics and environment, demonstrating that while heredity plays a role, it is not the sole determinant of intelligence. The author also examines the impact of family background and educational opportunities, highlighting the importance of nurturing environments for intellectual growth. This fascinating study contributes to our understanding of the origins of intelligence, providing valuable insights for educators, psychologists, and parents alike. The author's analysis illuminates the multifaceted nature of intelligence, underscoring the intricate interplay between inherited traits and environmental factors in shaping cognitive abilities.
