Binet ws director of the psych. laboratory at the Sorbonne. Following Broca's lead he wrote several papers on craniometry and intelligence measurement. By 1900 he began to have doubts about this work. The book offered here is the recantation of his own research and exploration of the unconscious bias and its impact on his study of human intelligence. A remarkable book. See Gould, Mismeasure of Man, chp. 5.; see DSB.
