The Mismeasure of Man is a fundamental work by Stephen Jay Gould that denounces the scientific pretensions of racism and the biological determinism of human intelligence. This revised and expanded edition presents new texts and arguments, consolidating itself as a renewed and essential book to understand the history and implications of the measurement of intelligence. Published by Editorial Crítica in 1997, it belongs to the Drakontos collection and has sold more than 250,000 copies in ten different languages.
Stephen Jay Gould was an American paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, historian of science, and one of the most widely read authors of popular science of his generation. He is considered by many to be one of the most influential figures in evolutionary biology. Gould spent most of his career teaching at Harvard University and working at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. In 1996, Gould was hired as the Vincent Astor Visiting Research Professor of Biology at New York University, after which he divided his time teaching between there and Harvard.
