Originally published in 1928, Studies in Hereditary Ability studies
the genealogy of great families of Britain and America and examines
how their ancestors influenced their genetics and who they
subsequently ended up becoming. The book examines the descent of
ability through both maternal and paternal lines, and seeks to
argue that from both sides, there stems an equal chance of
inheritance. At the time of publication maternal genealogy was
relatively unexplored and the book examines the influence of the
maternal line on hereditary genetics, as well as the early
influence of the mother on a child's environment. The book also
examines the links between leadership and intelligence, and maps
the genealogy of writers, scientists and artists, and proposes that
these notable figures were more likely to have had notable
relatives. Although very much of its time, the book will provide a
unique and interesting read for social historians, anthropologists
and genealogists alike.
