Materials for the Study of Variation: Treated with Especial Regard to Discontinuity in the Origin of Species (Cambridge Library Collection - Darwin, Evolution and Genetics) - Softcover
Building on the work of Darwin and Mendel, the biologist William Bateson (1861-1926) was the first scientist to combine the study of variation, heredity and evolution, and to use the term 'genetics'. This book was first published in 1894 after many years of experimental and theoretical work - particularly in the embryology of the acorn worm genus Balanoglossus - which had been guided by the principle that embryonic developmental stages replay the evolutionary transitions of adult forms of an organism's ancestors. Bateson was the first to challenge this theory, which made him unpopular among the scientific establishment of the time, but he was proved right. Organising his material by anatomical sections, Bateson explores speciation, phylogeny and discontinuous and continuous variation among a wide range of species, including vertebrates, invertebrates and plants. This pioneering work offers great insight into how the study of genetics and inheritance itself evolved.

Book Description:
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.
Review:
"Should be read by all those biologists reared on Batesonian myths -- in other words by the majority of us... Bateson's thoughts leap from the pages with a new freshness." -- Archives of Natural History
