Is There a Hereditary Component of Intelligence?

Darwin's discoveries and the growth of mass education in the 19th Century set the stage for a quest to measure and assess human intelligence. But that quest has often seemed quixotic: marred by poor or non-existent science, skewed by commercial and political agendas, and marred, time and again, in Donald's view, by essentialism.   From eugenicist Sir Francis Galton to Daniel Goleman, who popularized emotional intelligence testing, this episode covers the theorists who cast a statistical and sytematizing eye on human differences.
