| SUMMARY | |
| Summary | The definitive refutation to the argument of -- The Mismeasure of ManAnd yet the idea of innate limits?of biology as destiny?dies hard, as witness the attention devoted to?The Bell CurveThe 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. These additions strengthen the book's claim to be, as Leo J. Kamin of Princeton University has said, "a major contribution toward deflating pseudo-biological 'explanations' of our present social woes." |
