Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the concept of non-inheritance of acquired characteristics in the development of traits in animals, particularly the development of hair patterns. The author questions the universality of Weismannism, a theory of heredity that asserts the separation of germ cells from body cells, which was groundbreaking in solidifying the concepts of genetics. Through detailed observation of hair patterns in mammals, primarily domesticated animals and specimens in the London Zoo, the author posits that certain characteristics cannot be explained solely by natural selection and instead can be attributed to the effects of habit and use. The book presents evidence for the idea that acquired characteristics can be inherited, challenging a fundamental tenet of Weismannism and opening up new avenues of understanding in the study of heredity and evolution.
