About this title

Synopsis

Unraveling the invisible twins of heredity: a landmark look at intracellular pangenesis

This edition presents Hugo de Vries’s influential exploration of how hereditary units, or pangens, operate inside the cell. It traces the ideas that paved the way for the mutation theory and situates intracellular pangenesis as a turning point in the study of species origin and variation. The work blends historical context with detailed discussion of how early hypotheses shaped modern biology.

Readers will encounter foundational concepts about how characters are transmitted, how cell division and fertilization influence heredity, and how experimental thinking drives scientific progress. The translation and introduction illuminate the enduring relevance of these ideas to later genetics and cytology.

Clear discussion of the relationship between theoretical ideas and experimental practice

Explanations of how pangens relate to chromosomes, centrosomes, and cytoplasm

Historical notes that connect Darwin’s pangenesis to de Vries’s intracellular version

Context for the development of the mutation concept and heredity research

Ideal for readers of the history of biology, genetics, and plant physiology who want a concise, accessible account of a pivotal theory and its impact.
