Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, consisting of a series of detailed studies, presents statistical correlations between genetics and visual acuity. The author's stated aim is to examine the relative contributions of heredity and environment to vision, as well as explore the inheritance of corneal refraction, astigmatism, and other characteristics. By considering both the adult and child population, the author applies modern statistical methods not previously used to evaluate the correlations between relatives. Ultimately, this book contends that the study of heredity and environment on physical characteristics has important implications for the science of national eugenics.
