Synopsis
Excerpt from The Modern Theory of Evolution: Evolution and Genetics
I wish to acknowledge the inspiration of Dr. Dwight E. Minnich, who first encouraged me to undertake teaching a Course in evolution, and of the many students whose interest has made this particular course such a pleasure to teach. The comments and suggestions of my colleagues, at the University of Minnesota, James C. Underhill, Joseph G. Gall, John W. Hall, and Frank G. Nordlie, have been most helpful, but I, of course, am solely responsible for the final form of the book. In a work of this sort, covering as it does subjects ranging from the origin of life to cultural anthropology, choices must be made in matters of emphasis and interpretation. It is hoped that the net result is a reasonably balanced account of current thought on evolution.
My collaboration with Mrs. Olivia Jensen Ingersoll, whose imaginative drawings illustrate the. Book, of necessity was carried on at long range since her home is in Ohio. However, her competence, both as an illustrator and as a zoologist, greatly eased the problems involved. Finally, I wish to acknowledge the devoted assistance of my wife, Jessie, who assumed the onerous task of typing the manuscript.
