Synopsis
Unlocking the hidden power inside us: a clear look at how exercise, inheritance, and environment shape humanity.
This book examines what really drives human improvement. It focuses on powers—strength, endurance, resistance to disease—that grow with effort and can be inherited. It avoids easy answers about race or pure selection, offering a practical framework for understanding how individuals and societies rise or fall.
- Learn how training and activity build lasting abilities rather than wearing people out.
- See how traits develop over generations through workout, practice, and lived experience.
- Explore how immunity and disease resistance can be learned and passed down, not just luck or genetics.
- Understand why civilizations advanced where customs encouraged effort, delayed reproduction, and stimulated hard work.
Ideal for readers curious about practical ideas behind human development, health, and history, presented in accessible, straightforward terms.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The things set forth in this little book are matters of fact, and not a philosophy or a set of opinions. If some person does not agree, his proper procedure is to find contrary facts to offset those here presented. As there is an ample supply of records, there is no excuse for applying denunciation instead of getting the facts. For example, my tables show that the children bom to fathers less than thirty are much more numerous than those born to fathers over forty. If anyone doubts it, let him go to the birth registry in any city, or to family genealogies to be found in any public library. In examining the pedigrees of intellectually eminent men I found that those born to fathers more than forty are much more numerous than those born to fathers less than thirty. The names of the men in my list are given in my Control of Heredity, and in myG reat Men. If anyone questions the results let him make up another list of equally eminent men and tell us what he finds.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of evolutionary change and longevity, drawing upon evidence from plants, animals, and humans. The author argues that improvements in power, intelligence, and longevity come through the offspring of old parents and not through the offspring of young parents. By examining eminent men and women throughout history, the author demonstrates that improvements in mental power and physical strength result from powers developed by exercise in one generation being inherited by the next. This book challenges the prevailing Darwinian and Mendelian theories of evolution and provides unique insights into the process of human improvement, suggesting that the key to progress lies in the slow and steady accumulation of knowledge and experience over multiple generations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
