书籍简介
这本书是对钟形曲线论点的最终驳斥。
1981年出版时，《人类的误测》立即被誉为一部杰作，对那些根据所谓的基因天赋和局限对人进行分类的人给出了响亮的回答。然而，先天的局限性——生物学就是命运——的观点很难被驳倒，正如对钟形曲线的关注所证明的那样，它的论点在这里被斯蒂芬·杰伊·古尔德如此有效地预测并彻底地破坏了。在这个版本中，古尔德博士写了一个重要的新介绍，讲述了他如何和为什么写这本书，并通过钟形曲线追踪了关于天生性的争议的后续历史。此外，他还补充了五篇关于钟形曲线问题的论文，以及关于种族、种族主义和一般生物决定论的论文。正如普林斯顿大学(Princeton University)的里奥·J·卡明(Leo J. Kamin)所言，这些补充加强了该书的主张，即“对我们当前社会困境的伪生物学‘解释’做出了重大贡献”。
The definitive refutation to the argument of The Bell Curve.
When published in 1981, The Mismeasure of Man was immediately hailed as a masterwork, the ringing answer to those who would classify people, rank them according to their supposed genetic gifts and limits.
And yet the idea of innate limits―of biology as destiny―dies hard, as witness the attention devoted to The Bell Curve, whose arguments are here so effectively anticipated and thoroughly undermined by Stephen Jay Gould. In this edition Dr. Gould has written a substantial new introduction telling how and why he wrote the book and tracing the subsequent history of the controversy on innateness right through The Bell Curve. Further, he has added five essays on questions of The Bell Curve in particular and on race, racism, and biological determinism in general. These additions strengthen the book"s claim to be, as Leo J. Kamin of Princeton University has said, "a major contribution toward deflating pseudo-biological "explanations" of our present social woes."
