Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Genetic Psychology: An Introduction to an Objective and Genetic View of Intelligence
Comparative psychology is primarily concerned with comparing and grading the intelligence of different species of animals and races of men, but genetic psychology is interested in grading the intelligence of animals only as a means of knowing what changes have taken place in the evolution of mind in the race, the order of such evolution, and the relation to each other of different types of mental activity.
