""Hereditary Genius: An Inquiry into Its Laws and Consequences"" is a book written by Francis Galton, a British scientist, in which he explores the concept of hereditary genius. Galton argues that intelligence and other abilities are largely inherited, and that the most successful people in society come from families with a high degree of inherited ability. He examines the lives of famous people from various fields, including science, art, and politics, and uses statistical analysis to support his theory. Galton also discusses the potential consequences of this idea, including the possible creation of a eugenics program to selectively breed individuals with high intelligence and ability. The book is a pioneering work in the field of intelligence testing and the study of genetics, and it continues to be a subject of debate and controversy in modern times.1869. Galton, an explorer and anthropologist, is known for his pioneering studies of human intelligence. Influenced by the work of his cousin Charles Darwin, he coined the term eugenics (from the Greek eugenes or wellborn) and devoted the latter part of life to applying Darwinian science to develop theories about heredity and good or noble birth. In this volume he makes the case for his theory of hereditary genius.
