Excerpt from Preliminary Study of Family Resemblance in Handwriting Galton takes it for granted that handwriting runs strongly in families, but, states the curious fact that in his study of twins he found a similarity in handwriting to be rare, such dissimilarity being in certain cases the only point of difference observed (9: In proof of the alleged constitutional character of handwriting, atten tion is called to the fact that the left-handwriting, mirror-writing and foot writing of a given individual are found to resemble his right-handwriting. The individualistic character is preserved. Theoretically, there is no reason why motor peculiarities should not be transmitted as well as sensory ones. Calton's study of the families of wrestlers and oarsmen gave him reason to believe that strength and skill are hereditary And Bateson has shown that among horses there are natural pacers and natural trotters, and that pacing is recessive to the ordinary trotting gait in the American trotter.
