Reseñas
Fairly dry book but good points nevertheless; reader meh.

Although not a popular topic to discuss today, heritability of cognitive abilities is quite well established now. This book is an interesting early investigation into the heritability of abilities.
Lynn Witherington
Why would anyone ever resuscitate this ludicrous book? It’s obsolete scientifically. And happens to be MONSTROUSLY OFFENSIVE too.
