When published in 1981, "The Mismeasure of Man" was immediately hailed as a masterwork, the answer to those who would classify people, rank them according to their supposed genetic gifts and limits. And yet the idea of innate limits—of biology as destiny—dies hard, as witness the attention devoted to "The Bell Curve," whose arguments are here so effectively anticipated and thoroughly undermined by Stephen Jay Gould. In this edition Dr. Gould traces the subsequent history of the controversy on innateness right through "The Bell Curve." Further, he has added five essays on questions of "The Bell Curve" in particular and on race, racism, and biological determinism in general. "A major contribution toward deflating pseudobiological 'explanations' of our present social woes."—Leo J. Kamin, Princeton University MORE EBOOKS:
