Cloth. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. First Edition. Type: Book When Charles Davenport published Heredity in Relation to Eugenics in 1911, he advanced his ideas of where genetics would go in the rest of the 20th century.

Davenport's original book is reprinted along with the essays.
