Synopsis
This book explores the history of genetic research and its significance to the theory of evolution. Before the concept of genes and genetic variation was understood, it was generally accepted that new species arose through a slow, gradual process of change. However, the author's research suggests that many species actually arise through sudden mutations, which can lead to the formation of new species almost overnight. This idea completely changes our understanding of how evolution occurs, and provides a more nuanced and accurate picture of the history of life on Earth.

Book Description
These lectures, published at Yale in 1913, illuminate the formation of theories that are central to the modern study of genetics, heredity and evolution. In them, William Bateson (1861-1926) chronicles the conflicting and developing theories on taxonomy, speciation, variation and hybridisation, using a wide taxonomic range of detailed examples.
