The Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics.; Translated by A. Paul Maerker-Branden

Descripción

8vo, 414pp, illustrated; maroon cloth. Kammerer's controversial work, offering proof of Lamarck's notion that acquired physical characteristics could be genetically inherited, won the Austrian biologist instant fame as the 'new Darwin.' When confronted with evidence that he had faked his results to arrive at the desired data, Kammerer committed suicide in 1926. Pencil notes on endpaper; near fine in a chipped dust jacket that is complete despite being detached by tear running the length of the front hinge.
