The second, long-suppressed book by the famous author of The Biology of the Race Problem is now available once again. In this long-lost work, Professor George explains the consequences of ignoring racial differences in the formulation of public policy.

The author, a professor emeritus of histology and embryology at the School of Medicine, University of North Carolina, builds upon the very real racial biological differences and shows that the factors that determine all life are the pool of genes created at fertilization, and not environmental.

The equalitarian dogma insists-in the face of all evidence to the contrary-that all men are born with equal endowment and can be kept equal if given the same opportunities and the same environment. Such erroneous views dominate because even literate and influential people are ignorant of the facts and are misled by their emotions.

With an introduction by Archibald Roosevelt, son of President Theodore Roosevelt, and a foreword by Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Columbia University, Professor Henry E. Garrett.
