Ted Kaczynski as a Child

As a child, Ted Kaczynski was quiet and shy. He loved animals, like the bird perched on his shoulder in the photo, and he also collected coins. What made him stand out was his IQ, which at 167 placed him just above Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein. When Kaczynski was 15, he graduated from high school and he started his freshman year at Harvard when he was 16 years old.
