Synopsis
Excerpt from A First Study of the Inheritance of Vision and of the Relative Influence of Heredity and Environment on Sight
In dealing statistically with the data available we have endeavoured to avoid gross blunders of interpretation by appealing for technical knowledge to specialists. Among these we have in the first place to thank Mr E. Nettleship for his ready answers to many questions placed before him, and for his copious references to Ophthalmic literature; it is, perhaps, needless to add that he is in nowise responsible for any conclusions drawn or opinions expressed in this memoir, the data and methods of which were only placed before him for his ever useful and friendly criticism after the completion of the manuscript.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, consisting of a series of detailed studies, presents statistical correlations between genetics and visual acuity. The author's stated aim is to examine the relative contributions of heredity and environment to vision, as well as explore the inheritance of corneal refraction, astigmatism, and other characteristics. By considering both the adult and child population, the author applies modern statistical methods not previously used to evaluate the correlations between relatives. Ultimately, this book contends that the study of heredity and environment on physical characteristics has important implications for the science of national eugenics.
