The Mutation Theory; Experiments and Observations on the Origin of Species in the Vegetable Kingdom

"The Mutation Theory; Experiments and Observations on the Origin of Species in the Vegetable Kingdom, Volume 2" presents a detailed exploration of Hugo de Vries' groundbreaking work on mutation theory. This volume builds upon his experimental research and observations concerning the origin of new species within the plant kingdom. The work provides insights into the mechanisms of evolution and heredity, focusing on the role of mutations as a driving force. Authored by Hugo de Vries, with contributions from John Bretland Farmer and A. D. Darbishire, this book remains a valuable resource for botanists, geneticists, and anyone interested in the history of evolutionary thought. It offers a deep dive into the experimental evidence and theoretical framework that shaped early 20th-century understanding of species evolution.
