Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book concerns evolutionary biology and is particularly concerned with the theory of natural selection. The author argues that the theory, as advanced by Darwin and Wallace, is insufficient on its own to explain the development of complex life forms and that another factor must be involved. The author examines the Lamarckian and Weismannian theories of inheritance and provides an alternative theory which he terms "germinal selection." The author claims that this new theory reconciles Lamarckian and Weismannian principles, thereby providing a more comprehensive explanation of evolution. This idea, which was first introduced in an address at the International Congress of Zoologists, was well-received and is considered a significant contribution to the field of evolutionary biology. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of evolutionary biology, genetics, and heredity. 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.
