Synopsis

Originally published in German in 1892 as Das Keimplasma: Eine Theorie der Vererbung, this reprint is of the first English translation. As a key text in the debate over the inheritance of acquired characters, The Germ-Plasm was one of Weismann's most important contributions to the genetic thought that guided much of the scholarship in twentieth-century genetics and embryology.
