Review

"Should be read by all those biologists reared on Batesonian myths -- in other words by the majority of us... Bateson's thoughts leap from the pages with a new freshness." -- Archives of Natural History

Book Description

The work of William Bateson on variation and heredity pioneered the study of genetics. Controversial when published in 1894, this book is organised by anatomical parts. Exploring phylogeny, heredity and variation among a wide range of species, it offers insight into how the study of genetics and inheritance itself evolved.
