Are we smarter than our grandparents, and if so, in what way? Is it possible to compare cognitive abilities between African aborigines and representatives of Western civilization? What are the shortcomings of existing systems for assessing intelligence, and does school... make us smarter? Richard Nisbett, one of the most outstanding contemporary social psychologists, answers these and many other questions. Analyzing research materials, statistics on foster families, and results from school experiments, Nisbett refutes the concepts of genetic determinism of intelligence and shows the role and possibilities of cultural environment and education.
