Excerpt from Natural Inheritance

I have long been engaged upon certain problems that lie at the base of the science of heredity, and during several years have published technical memoirs concerning them, a list of which is given in Appendix A. This volume contains the more important of the results, set forth in an orderly way, with more completeness than has hitherto been possible, together with a large amount of new matter.

The inquiry relates to the inheritance of moderately exceptional qualities by brotherhoods and multitudes rather than by individuals, and it is carried on by more refined and searching methods than those usually employed in hereditary inquiries.

�valuation du vendeur 5 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of heredity, exploring the complex ways in which traits and characteristics are passed down through generations. The author, a pioneer in the field, takes a statistical approach, analyzing large populations and fraternities to uncover patterns in the distribution of human qualities, from physical features to mental abilities. He challenges the traditional view of inheritance as a simple blending of parental traits, arguing instead for a more nuanced understanding of how individual elements are inherited, sometimes even skipping generations. Drawing upon examples from nature, society, and even mechanical inventions, the author demonstrates the significance of "stable forms" â� � characteristic groupings that emerge through a complex interplay of chance and natural selection. These stable forms, he argues, are the foundation of hereditary patterns, influencing the traits we inherit and the variations that make us unique. The bookâ� �s insights into heredity, presented through clear explanations and engaging illustrations, offer a fresh perspective on the enduring mystery of how we are shaped by our ancestors. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331910053_0
