Materials for the Study of Variation : Treated with Especial Regard to Discontinuity in the Origin of Species

Omtale

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.
