About this Item
Description:
Toronto: Williams and Wallace International, 1979. Cloth and printed dust jacket, illustrated, 91 pp. On the inheritance of acquired characters. E.O. Wilson's name stamp on fore-edge; laid in is a page of the journal "Nature", 20 November 1980 with a review of this book and Wilson s note: 1 copy please . Also laid in is a page from the March 22, 1981 "New York Times" with a lengthy article by Sir Peter Medawar, The View from the Heights of Immunology , and a postscript, New Evolutionary Mechanism , that addresses the recent Steele findings that an acquired immunological adaptation of mice could be passed on to their progeny Medawar s lab was unable to reproduce Steele s results, but that the people repeating his work were somewhat prejudiced; they would have liked to have found his story to be true, for this would have made us rethink our conventional ideas about the mechanism of evolution. In Very Good condition. Seller Inventory # 880bd5becd2ff781e50c116e6905689d
