Synopsis
Explore how living beings renew parts and pass on hereditary traits. A clear, thorough look at regeneration and inheritance across life forms.
The discussion centers on a continuity of germ-plasm and how new individuals can arise not only from germ-cells but also by budding and other somatic processes. It explains the idea of accessory idioplasm and how latent determinants in egg-cells may activate to form new parts or entire buds. The text weighs regeneration from simple organisms to more complex animals, showing how the capacity to rebuild differs greatly among species and what this implies for our understanding of life.
Readers will encounter concrete examples and careful reasoning about the limits of current theories, the role of nuclear substance, and the challenges of explaining life’s causal processes. The author cautions that a complete, final theory of life remains out of reach, yet offers a useful framework to organize observations and raise new questions.
- How budding and fission contribute to development and heredity
- The idea of accessory idioplasm and its possible sources
- Variation in regenerative power across species and its implications

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of regeneration, exploring how organisms can replace lost or damaged parts. The author challenges the prevailing notion that regeneration is a fundamental, innate ability in all living things, arguing instead that it is an adaptation developed through the process of evolution. Through a series of meticulously detailed observations and experiments, the author explores the complex relationship between regeneration, adaptation, and the organismââ â¢s environment. By analyzing the regenerative abilities of various speciesââ âfrom lowly earthworms to the water newt, and even birdsââ âthe author reveals how the capacity for regeneration is often related to the organismââ â¢s likelihood of injury and the biological importance of the injured part. The bookââ â¢s insights into the adaptive nature of regeneration offer a unique perspective on the intricate mechanisms of life and evolution.
