Excerpt from Eugenio Rignano Upon the Inheritance of Acquired Characters: A Hypothesis of Heredity, Development, and Assimilation
Rignano is a student of Biology who has also the training of an engineer and physicist. His attack on bio logical problems is from that side. In this book he offers an explanation on a physical basis of assimilation, cell di vision, and the biogenetic law of recapitulation in ontog eny, and he suggests a mechanism whereby the inheritance of acquired characters may be effected.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contends that cells and body parts continually communicate with each other to inform development and growth. The author provides a detailed exploration of this topic, challenging prevailing theories that cells are predetermined in their development and function. Instead, the author posits that cells function as part of a larger system of control, one which coordinates the development of organisms and allows for adaptation. The concept of biological inheritance is also examined, with the author arguing against the notion that acquired traits cannot be passed down through generations. Through its innovative theory of biological development, this book casts new light on biology's central preoccupation with the question of life itself.
