What reading level is The Significance of a Declining Death Rate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Pearson has briefly considered this phase of the subject in his papers on "Data for the Problem of Evolution in Man," with particular reference to the principle laid down by Wallace and Weissmann that the duration of life in an organism is fundamentally determined by natural selection.
According to Pearson also, the selective death rate represents a consider- able portion of the total death rate, and, in his words, "having demon- strated that the duration of life is really inherited, it has als
...o been demonstrated that natural selection is very sensibly effective among mankind." He proves, or at least attempts to prove, for his data are hardly sufficient for entirely safe assumptions, that there is certainly a well-established correlation between the ages at death of fathers and sons, for he adds, "the heredity is not absolute, since there is a sensible diver- gence from the law of inheritance, in that the death rate is only in part selective." There is an extensive literature on inherited diseases, much of which fails to meet the test of impartial and strictly qualified scientific criticism.
