Organic Evolution As The Result Of The Inheritance Of Acquired Characters According To The Laws Of Organic Growth is a book written by G. H. Theodor Eimer in 1890. The book explores the concept of organic evolution and how it is influenced by the inheritance of acquired characters. Eimer argues that the laws of organic growth play a crucial role in the evolution of species, and that acquired characteristics can be passed down from one generation to the next. The book also discusses the relationship between heredity and environment, and how they interact to shape the evolution of species. Eimer's ideas were controversial at the time, as they challenged the prevailing theory of natural selection put forth by Charles Darwin. However, his work has since been recognized as an important contribution to the field of evolutionary biology. Organic Evolution As The Result Of The Inheritance Of Acquired Characters According To The Laws Of Organic Growth is a seminal work in the history of evolutionary theory and is still studied and debated by scientists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

Professor Eimer, I had been for some time growing more and more dissatisfied with the uncritical acceptance accorded to Professor Weismann stheories of heredity and variation by many English evolutionists. Even before I studied Weismann swritings, I had become convinced that selection, whether natural or artificial, could not be the essential cause of the evolution of organisms. I was inclined to attach more importance to the problem of the causes of variation than to any of the other problems considered by Darwin, and among these causes it seemed to me that the most powerful were functional activity and external conditions. I was thus led to believe that a deeper insight into the phenomena of evolution would ultimately be obtained by pursuing the line of inquiry suggested by Lamarck, than by continually searching for new instances of adaptation to be explained by the Darwinian formula.
