Peer reviewedEysenck, H. J. – Oxford Review of Education, 1975
It is concluded that equality of endowment is a myth dreamed up for ideological and political reasons.

More quantitative studies are required to make equality of opportunity a concrete and realistic ideal. (EH)

Van den Daele, Leland D. – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1972

Since maternal load is increased in twin pregnancy, results of twin studies must be generalized with caution. The method of co-twin control is exemplified by examination of a small…
