Eugenio Rignano Upon the Inheritance of Acquired Characters: A Hypothesis of Heredity, Development, and Assimilation (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A bold, theory-driven look at how traits may pass from generation to generation, beyond simple selection.
This nontechnical work presents a biogenetic hypothesis that aims to explain inheritance, development, and memory by tying together biology, chemistry, and philosophy. It discusses how ontogeny may reflect phylogeny and how a fundamental mechanism could underlie the inheritance of acquired characters, offering a fresh lens on long-standing debates.
- How development can echo species history and reveal hidden connections between organisms.
- A proposed mechanism that links heredity with assimilation, growth, and memory in living matter.
- A comparative look at major theories, including natural selection and Lamarckian ideas, with careful analysis.
- An effort to unite biology with positive philosophy to address some of biology’s most fundamental questions.

Eugenio Rignano Upon the Inheritance of Acquired Characters (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330142226_0
