The author pursues "individual" on the basis of genetics: that each person is very different, but he opposes eugenics. "Are newborn babies essentially uniform products?" No, he responds. Essentially an early version of arguments made by Steven Pinker in The Blank Slate. Williams rejects the idea of human "uniformity" and the educational theories built on the resulting environmentalism. Humans are tremendously diverse, based already on heredity, and this must be taken into account in education and child-rearing. Williams was "Director of the world-famous Biochemical Institute of the University of Texas".
