Synopsis
Excerpt from The Third and Fourth Generation: An Introduction to Heredity
This book is intended primarily for young people. They can most readily break away from the whims and prejudices of the past and adopt a new set of ideas as adequate grounds for new habits. They live only in this scientific age when we have an increasing respect for facts, reason on them to correct conclusions, and base on them our sense of duty. They are practical optimists, and what seems an impossible dream of the visionary to an Older generation, hide bound by preconceived notions and social traditions, comes to be, for valorous youth, a simple accomplishment dictated by good sense.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Descendents of notable figures such as Charles Darwin and Jonathan Edwards routinely went on to lead successful lives, while the descendants of less reputable people, like the notorious Max Jukes, often faced a life of crime, poverty or ill health. That a correlation exists between the characteristics of one's ancestors and oneself is a long -held belief in society, but only recently have we begun to understand the true nature of heredity. This book explores the basic principles of genetics, including Mendelian inheritance and the concept of dominant and recessive traits, providing an accessible and comprehensive look at the role heredity plays in shaping human health and behavior. The author draws on both historical figures and modern scientific studies to demonstrate the profound impact heredity has on our lives, offering a fascinating and thought-provoking examination of this complex topic. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331128113_0
