From the Back Cover

Sewall Wright opens this first volume of his monumental Evolution and the Genetics of Populations with a brief account of the ideas on the origin and evolution of the species that had been proposed up to the rediscovery of the Mendelian mechanism in 1900. He then takes up modes of inheritance, types of reproductive cycles, the nature of the gene, and the relation of genes to the usually remote characters that are the objects of selection.
