Overview

Originally published in 1925, this book examines, what was for its time, recent research on the great questions of evolution, variation and heredity. Compared to our knowledge today, some of the ideas here may seem very outdated, but provide an insight into where some important questions were raised and further experimentation began. Contents Include: Evolution: Geographical and Geological Evidence Evolution: Anatomical and Biological Evidence Evolution Before Charles Darwin Charles Darwin and Evolution Laws of Heredity Further Examples of Mendelism Cytology And Mendelism Inheritance of Sex Variation: Germinal and Acquired Biometry Variation in the Light of Modern Research
