This groundbreaking study challenges the conventional wisdom about the nature of inheritance and the role it plays in human development. Fowler argues that the key to improving the human race lies in understanding the laws of heredity and applying this knowledge to selective breeding. Drawing on his extensive experience as a phrenologist, Fowler presents a compelling case for a new science of human improvement, and outlines a bold vision for a future where intelligence and virtue are hereditary traits.
