What is Genetics and Eugenics : a Text-Book for Students of Biology and a Reference Book for Animal and Plant Breeders about?

IN THIS edition a more extended account is given of human heredity, of which our knowledge has considerably increased in recent years. I have made free use of R. R. Gates' excellent book in this connection. The chapter on the unit-characters of rodents has been completely rewritten, as what we know of heredity in mammals depends very largely on this group and large additions have been made to that knowledge recently. Polyploidy, parthenogenesis, and the artificial production of mutations are also topics requiring new discussion. The views of biologists have reached substantial unity on the formerly controversial subject of selection, which justifies a simplified treatment. I am indebted to the Carnegie Institution of Washington and The Journal of Heredity for permission to use here material used in other publications. My thanks are due to the Harvard University Press for hearty cooperation in the effort to make this new edition a better one.
