Kallikak family
This family is known for being the subject of HH G. Goddard's research into the hereditary nature of mental retardation and antisocial behavior in 1912. Kallikak (a pseudonym) was a British aristocrat who participated in the American War of Independence and had an illegitimate child with a mentally retarded woman. Over the next five generations, 480 descendants were born to this family. Of the 189 people who could be surveyed, 143 (75.7%) were mentally retarded, alcoholics, or criminals, and only 46 were normal.
