The author provides a detailed investigation of the facts
surrounding human mental ability, its measurement, inheritability,
possible neurobiological underpinnings, and its role as a currency
in human mate choice. He links human mental ability with
educational attainment, occupational attainment, occupational
prestige, and earned income. The ethical and policy implications
are profound for both liberal democratic and libertarian social
thought. Class mobility is significantly mediated by human
intelligence, and intelligence itself is significantly heritable.
Liberal democratic and libertarian conservative social policies
require substantial revision in light of these findings. New forms
of socioenvironmental and genomic intervention recommend
themselves. The author provides a detailed investigation of the
