Sinossi
Explore how Mendelian ideas reshaped our view of heredity and variation.
This study presents the early genetics pioneer Bateson’s explanation of how small unit factors influence the traits we see in living beings. It traces the emergence of mutation as a central concept and shows why genetics became a powerful tool for understanding life.
The book frames a shift from broad, vague notions of variation to a precise, laboratory–style analysis of how inheritance works. It argues that studying heredity reveals the inner nature of organisms and opens new ways to ask and answer questions about evolution.
- Foundations of Mendelian analysis and the idea of unit characters or factors
- Connections between variation, heredity, and evolution
- Examples and discussion from early genetics to illustrate key concepts
- Context for how mutation fits into the broader theory of biology
Ideal for readers curious about the origins of genetic science and its impact on how we understand living things.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of genetic research and its significance to the theory of evolution. Before the concept of genes and genetic variation was understood, it was generally accepted that new species arose through a slow, gradual process of change. However, the author's research suggests that many species actually arise through sudden mutations, which can lead to the formation of new species almost overnight. This idea completely changes our understanding of how evolution occurs, and provides a more nuanced and accurate picture of the history of life on Earth. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
