Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Heredity
It is within the last twenty years or so that the real development Of the subject, as an exact science, has begun; and it is not too much to say that more real progress has been made since 1900 than had been made altogether before. Much certainly remains to be dis covered, and the answers to many important questions are still unknown or under dispute. It must also be admitted that the very rapidity of progress, especially as it has been made along different lines Of investiga tion, has tended to throw our ideas into confusion. Yet many facts which appeared contradictory have proved to be consistent; order is appearing amid the jungle of facts.
