The Geography of Intellect

By Stefan T. Possony and Nathaniel Weyl

Book Overview

The Geography of Intellect is a thought-provoking book written by Nathaniel Weyl that explores the relationship between geography and intelligence. The author argues that intelligence is not evenly distributed among populations and that there are geographical factors that contribute to this disparity. The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the history of intelligence testing and the concept of intelligence itself. The second part examines the geographical factors that contribute to differences in intelligence, such as climate, geography, and culture. The third part of the book explores the implications of these differences and how they affect society as a whole. Weyl's arguments are based on extensive research and data analysis, and he presents a compelling case for the role of geography in shaping intelligence. He also discusses the controversial topic of race and intelligence, arguing that race is not a biological determinant of intelligence but rather a social construct that has been used to justify discrimination and inequality. Overall, The Geography of Intellect is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that challenges our assumptions about intelligence and its distribution. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of geography, culture, and human intelligence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
