See his Hereditary Genius.
Footnote 52:

condition or “environment.”
Footnote 53:
Professor E. A. Ross, in his Foundations of Sociology, has a good
summary of the earlier literature of social selection, and a
bibliography. See pp. 327 _ff._

According to the estimates of W. I. King, in his Wealth and Income of
the People of the United States, the number of families in each of
these classes, excluding single men and women, would have been, in
1910: Well-to-do families, 1,437,190; families in want, 1,870,000;
families in an intermediate state, 14,970,000. See Chap. IX, Table
XLIII, from which these figures are computed.

I hardly need say, regarding the class revolution in Russia, that that
country was lacking in those conditions of intelligence,
communication, and economic development which my argument assumes to
exist.

Footnote 63:
The human-nature values, of course, vary much less than the
institutional values. Thus fashions vary infinitely, but conformity,
the human-nature basis of allegiance to fashion, remains much the
same.
