QT:{{”
The Kallikak Family: A Study in the Heredity of Feeble-Mindedness was a 1912 book by the American psychologist and eugenicist Henry H. Goddard. The work was an extended case study of Goddard’s for the inheritance of “feeble-mindedness,” a general category referring to a variety of mental disabilities including intellectual disability, learning disabilities, and mental illness. Goddard concluded that a variety of mental traits were hereditary and that society should limit reproduction by people possessing these traits.
…
The book begins by discussing the case of “Deborah Kallikak” (real name Emma Wolverton, 1889–1978),[2] a woman in Goddard’s institution, the New Jersey Home for the Education and Care of Feebleminded Children (now Vineland Training School). In the course of
investigating her genealogy, Goddard claims to have discovered that her family tree bore a curious and surprising moral tale.
