The second, and long-suppressed, book by the famous author of The Biology of the Race Problem which deals with the consequences of ignoring race and racial differences in the formulation of public policy. With an introduction by Archibald Roosevelt, son of President Theodore Roosevelt, and a foreword by Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Columbia University, Professor Henry E. Garrett.The author, a professor emeritus of histology and embryology at the School of Medicine, University of North Carolina, builds upon the very real racial biological differences and shows that the factors that determine all life are the pool of genes created at fertilization, and not environmental.Along the way, he discusses in detail the topics of hereditary, racial integration, intelligence, behaviour and race, crime and race, physical differences in brain structure between the races, and much more."The equalitarian dogma insists-in the face of all evidence to the contrary-that all men are born with equal endowment and can be kept equal if given the same opportunities and the same environment. Such erroneous views dominate because even literate and influential people are ignorant of the facts and are misled by their emotions."ContentsIntroduction to the 2013 EditionIntroduction by Archibald B.
