About “The Mismeasure of Man”
The Mismeasure of Man is a 1981 book by paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, both a history and critique of the statistical methods and cultural motivations underlying biological determinism—the belief that social and economic differences between human groups, primarily races, classes, and sexes, arise from inherited, inborn distinctions.
