- Title
Genetics and human psychology.
- Authors
Rensch, Bernard
- Abstract
The article discovers how hereditary traits affect individual human capabilities. Previous researches have proved that different psychical qualities are inherited. Nevertheless, basing on genetic analysis to prove this is somehow difficult because of the external factors such as education and training. Owing to this, mental qualities of different human races cannot be judged exactly. Morphological differences in human races may cause physiological differences and in some cases also psychological differences but one can hardly be sure that differences in test experiments like intelligence test correspond to differences of inherited capabilities.
