چکیده
THE FUTURE OF MAN. Predictions of a Biologist. By P. B. Medawar. New York, Basic Books Inc., 1960, 128 pp. $3.00. This book proves that scientific distinction and the ability to write lucidly and entertainingly are not necessarily incompatible. Many fascinating points are raised, few definitive answers are given. Why do children born between May and October have slightly higher scores in intelligence tests than children born between November and April? Is human intelligence declining? Can population be stabilized? These and many other questions are discussed in a most readable fashion. HENRY G. MAUTNER
