520    This book was immediately hailed as a masterwork when 
       first published in 1981, the answer to those who would 
       rank people 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 biologist Gould. 
       In this revised edition, Dr. Gould traces the subsequent 
       history of the controversy on innateness. Further, he has 
       added five essays on questions of "The Bell Curve" in 
       particular and on race, racism, and biological determinism
       in general. -- From publisher description.
