Control of Heredity (Classic Reprint): A Study of the Genesis of Evolution and Degeneracy: A Study of the Genesis of Evolution and Degeneracy (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Explore the science of heredity and how traits pass through generations, with practical ideas about how environment, use, and age influence evolution. This edition dives into how intellectual power, physical traits, and even famous lineages may reflect natural laws at work.
Structured to guide curious readers through key ideas, the book blends historical examples with a discussion of theories about inheritance, variation, and evolution. It emphasizes how careful study of birth patterns, family lines, and the timing of reproduction can illuminate the paths of human and animal development.
- Clear explanations of heredity, variation, and selection and how they relate to real-world examples
- Discussion of growth, aging, puberty, and how these factors affect inheritance
- Analyses of eminent families and famous figures to illustrate inheritance patterns
- Thoughtful exploration of degeneration, race, and the limits of heredity without sensationalism
Ideal for readers interested in the history of genetics, evolutionary ideas, and the science behind heredity in both people and animals.

Excerpt from Control of Heredity: A Study of the Genesis of Evolution and Degeneracy
Travelers tell us that monkeys will watch men around a camp fire, and that as soon as the men leave, the monkeys will occupy their places; warming themselves till the fire goes out. The mon keys can appreciate the warmth coming from the fire, but they do not know enough to keep it up by piling on more wood. Much less do they know how to start a fire when they want it.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the role heredity plays in passing on a variety of characteristics, both physical and mental, from parents to children. The author challenges the commonly held view that certain capabilities, such as intelligence and talent, are solely the result of "good" breeding or happenstance. In fact, through examination of historical events, scientific research, and case studies, the author argues that genetics is just as significant, if not more so, than environment in shaping who we are. Marshaling examples from animal breeding and human history, the author builds a case for the importance of heredity, demonstrating why it is essential for a deeper understanding of society, medicine, and our own biology. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330321874_0
