Abstract
A critical examination of the work of Alexander Graham Bell and that of Beeton and Pearson on the inheritance of longevity in man. In both cases the material used showed biometric characteristics rather far removed from those of a general population. Actuarial rather than biometric methods are advocated for such studies.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
