Synopsis
Excerpt from The Relative Value of the Processes Causing Evolution
But at times the feeling will not down, that a great number of eminent and able Biologists utterly fail to understand in how far their results have value in themselves, and in how far they are but building-stones. Many do not seem to see, that, without a timely attempt to utilize their results in construct ing a coherent whole of a higher order much detail is utterly wasted, being without significance in itself. It is very evident that many fail to see the forest because of all the trees.
There is no real spirit of subordination of the different genet ical investigations to the main problems of evolution, in the work of any but Bateson and a few others. What we need from time to time, is to pause, and try to see' what all the others are doing, where they are going, what work is left undone, and where work is unnecessarily duplicated.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the intricate relationship between heredity, variation, and evolution. The author explores the evolution of scientific thought on this subject, from the theories of Lamarck and Darwin through to the later discoveries of Mendel and Johannsen. The book takes a unique approach, challenging the dominant theories of the day and emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms of inheritance and the influence of environment on evolution. Through a combination of historical analysis and a thorough consideration of experimental evidence, the author presents a groundbreaking perspective on the complex interplay of factors that drive the development of new species. The book offers a compelling case for a more nuanced understanding of evolution, one that moves beyond simplistic explanations and embraces the intricate nature of genetic processes.
