Le teorie di Maupertuis dell'eredità e dell'epigenesia biparentale hanno sostanzialmente previsto quelle di Darwin, Mendel e de Vries quasi un secolo e mezzo prima, per questo motivo è considerato un precursore di Darwin e Mendel.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Included. 2nd Edition. [MAUPERTIUS, Pierre-Louis Moreau de] Venus physique. Secretely printed at unknown press, 1746. 12mo. 224p. Contemporary paper boards. The first modern work on heredity, advancing the theory of biparental influence over inherited characteristics. The study consists of… two dissertations, the first of which had been separately published two years earlier on the occasion of the appearance of an albino negro boy in Paris. The author's aim here is to account not only for this particular curiosity but also for more complex phenomena such as the dark skin of the inhabitants of the torrid zones, and the apparent paradox of so many different races descending from a single set of white parents. The treatment of recessive and dominant traits in this work is particularly far-seeing. As an aid to his research on heredity, the author always kept a large number of animals for breeding to obtain special characteristics. Maupertuis (1698-1759), French mathematician and philosopher, was a member of the Académie des Sciences,the first Frenchman to be elected to the Royal Society of London, and the first president of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. Following a visit to England in 1728, he became France's foremost proponent of the Newtonian movement. He is considered a pioneer of genetics.His 'Venus Physique' is considered 'an early attempt at a materialistic explanation of species, anticipating Darwin by a century'. The First published at The Hague in 1745. Some toning at beginning and end, otherwise a good, untrimmed copy with a short manuscript note in Spanish on front flyleaf, and the author's name added on the title in a contemporary French hand. Waller 6354.

Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (1698-1759), französischer Philosoph, Mathematiker, Physiker und Geograph, 1746 wurde er vom Friedrich dem Großen zum Präsidenten der preußischen Akademie der Wissenschaften ernannt. Maupertuis war Anhäger der Newtonschen Physik. In der Philosophie verschrieb sich er dem britischen Empirismus, vor allem David Hume, dessen Sensualismus er auf die Mathematik übertrug. Das hier angebotene Buch ist ein Exemplar der zweiten Ausgabe von "Essai de cosmologie", zuerst 1750 in Berlin erschienen (sehr seltene Ausgabe). Vgl. Ziegenfuss, Philosophen-Lexikon, Bd. 2, 136-137.

Sein Hauptwerk ist "Idea de un príncipe político-cristiano representada en cien empresas" (München 1640), eine Schrift zum Staatsdenken im Sinne des Katholozismus mit Rückgriff auf Tacitus ("Tacitismus").
