Hereditary Genius: An Inquiry Into Its Laws and Consequences is a book by Francis Galton about the genetic inheritance of intelligence. It was first published in 1869 by Macmillan Publishers. The first American edition was published by D. Appleton & Company in 1870. It was Galton's first major work written from a hereditarian perspective. It was later referred to as "the first serious study of the inheritance of intelligence" and as "the beginning of scientific interest in the topic of genius." In the book, Galton demonstrated that the sons of men who he considered "eminent" in a given profession were more likely to achieve such eminence themselves than if they were not closely related to eminent individuals. He interpreted this pattern as evidence for genetic transmission of human intelli

Il interprète ce schéma comme une preuve de la transmission génétique de l'intelligence humaine. Cousin de Charles Darwin, Francis Galton connait bien la théorie darwinienne. En effet, il a déjà fait le lien entre l'hérédité et des statistiques mathématiques, telles que la taille par exemple. Il décide d'appliquer à l'intelligence cette corrélation. (fr)
