Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018
Extract
The ordinary biological teaching is to the effect that the inheritance of the child is not affected by the education of the parent. That dictum is not based upon a direct investigation of the matter itself, nor is it based upon an investigation of anything which is related to human intelligence. The dictum is nothing but an unwarranted deduction from observations on the colours of animals, and some experiments on amputating the tails of mice.
