Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Galton believed that intelligence was primarily inherited through genetics and that it was passed down from generation to generation. He believed that there was a strong link between a person's intelligence and that of their parents and ancestors. Other factors such as family traditions related to education or advantages associated with being born to the upper class were seen as secondary or contributing factors but not the primary determinant of intelligence.
