Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of two families, tracing their lineage over generations to expose the profound impact of heredity on human lives. One branch, descended from a man who had a child with a feeble-minded woman, is plagued by mental deficiency, immorality, and social dysfunction. The other branch, stemming from the same man's marriage to a woman of good standing, thrives with successful individuals and healthy social contributions. The author meticulously documents the lives and fates of hundreds of individuals, highlighting the stark contrast between the two branches. The book delves into themes of social responsibility, individual agency, and the role of environment in shaping human potential. It challenges the prevailing notion that societal ills stem solely from environmental factors, presenting a powerful case for the significance of heredity in shaping individual and familial destinies. This book, a groundbreaking work of social science, provides a compelling and troubling portrait of how inherited traits can impact generations to come, leaving a lasting mark on individuals and communities.
