Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity and Human Progress Mong the many questions which, in this eager age, press for solution, there is none of deeper interest to the thoughtful and philanthropic mind than that which pertains to the treatment of our defectives and criminals. If we view broadly the evil which these individuals engender, we find 'not only that it thwarts the best purposes of men but that it lies at the very root of all human misery. When we have conceived and put into application a wise solution of this problem, we shall have begun a true rejuvenation of the race.

Download or read book Heredity and Social Progress Classic Reprint written by Simon N. Patten and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity and Social Progress The social surplus is a part of the annual produce of nations. It is concretely embodied in goods which perish, and must be replaced by renewed effort in each epoch. Nature aids man freely, but not in increasing ratios. The amount of the natural surplus varies, and there are resultant periods of plenty and of scarcity; but a static population ever presses against this limit, and leaves no room for progress, which comes only after conscious effort, and brings with it the social surplus. Man, in his endeavor to improve his con dition, faces a law of diminishing returns. In each epoch the purely natural conditions are a little worse than they were in the preceding, and society would decline, unless men made greater exertions. We picture this in a large way when we say that the sun is the source of all energy, and that the energy steadily wanes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity and Human Affairs Genetics stands second to physics as the most fruitful department of science during the last quarter of a century. Physics has given us a new chemistry, a new thermo dynamics, in fact a wholly new philosophy as to the nature of matter. It has made possible such marvellous mechanical inventions as the aeroplane, the cinema, and the radio. The achievements of genetics are not so spectacular, but hardly less broadly constructive. The established facts concerning variation, heredity, and development provide a new orien tation in sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity and Eugenics: A Course of Lectures Summarizing Recent Advances in Knowledge, in Variation, Heredity, and Evolution and Its Relation, to Plant, Animal, and Human Improvement Ment and Welfare During the summer of 1911, a course of lectures on heredity and allied topics was given at the University of Chicago, under the auspices of the biological departments. The purpose of the course was to present the recent develop ments of knowledge in reference to variation, heredity, and evolution, and the application of this new knowledge to plant, animal, and human development and improvement. The lectures were not intended for those trained in biology, but for a general university audience, interested in the progress of genetics as a matter of information rather than of study. The lecturers, therefore, did not address themselves to their colleagues, and did not attempt to include any considerable amount of new material. It is believed that a much larger audience than the one originally addressed might be interested in this summary of results in one of the important and recently cultivated fields of biology, and therefore this volume has been published. It is hoped that it may perform a service not only for those interested in biology as a field outside their own experience, but also for those biologists whose work deals with other phases of biology.

Download or read book Human Heredity Classic Reprint written by Casper Lavater Redfield and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Heredity Perhaps so and perhaps not. Just at present we are not interested in crossing the white raceon a race of some other color, and if we should do so the law would prevent us from breeding brother and sister together to get the Mendelian segregation. Up to the present it has not been shown that we can get pure whites and pure blacks by breeding Mulattos together. Also, we are not particularly interested in inches in height, color of hair, or shape of physical organs, and these are the things with which the Mendelian theory deals. In a political campaign, the politi cal orator, in bringing forward the merits of his candidate, does not say: Vote for my man, he has brown eyes and curly hair, and is much superior to the other fellow, who has red hair and a pug nose. We are interested in improvements in mental power, physical strength and endurance, vitality, resistance to disease, and longevity. These are not unit characters at all, and consequently do not come under the Mendelian theory. Ou this point I will refer the reader to the New York Medical Journal for September 21, 1918.

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity and Environment in the Development of Men Ontogeny and Phylogeny - One of the greatest and most far reaching themes which has ever occupied the minds of men is the problem of development. Whether it be the development of an animal from an egg, of a race or species from a pre-existing one, or of the body, mind and institutions of man, this problem is everywhere much the same in fundamental principles, and knowledge gained in one of these fields must be Of value in each of the others. Ontogeny and phylogeny are not wholly distinct phenomena, but are only two aspects of the one general process of organic development. The evolution of races and of species is sufficiently rare and unfamiliar to attract much attention and serious thought; while the development of an individual is a phenomenon of such universal occurrence that it is taken as a matter of course by most people, something so evident that it seems to require no explanation; but familiarity with the fact of development does not remove the mystery which lies back of it, though it may make plain many of the processes concerned. The development of a human being, of a personality, from a germ cell is the climax of all wonders, greater even than that involved in the evolution of a species or in the making of a world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity, Disease and Human Evolution A knowledge of the leading peculiarities of disease is evidently an essential preliminary to the consideration of the significance Of diseases in the process of human evo lution. One who wishes to speak of disease must know what it is. But we do not need, for such an exposition, the strictly scientific groundwork of knowledge possessed by the pathological expert. It will suffice to start with a clear definition as to the essential nature Of disease, one which will give us a general understanding Of the influence of this process upon the bodily and mental capacity of the individual human being, and in association therewith upon the race as a whole.

But the degree in which this has been done greatly varies. Between the rude canoe and the steamship; between the boomerang and the repeating rifle; between the roughly carved wooden idol and the breathing mar ble of Grecian art; between savage knowledge and modern science; between the wild Indian and the white settler; between the Hottentot woman and the belle of polished society, there is an enormous difference.

He was to subdue nature to do so he must solve many problems. If we look at the great progress and advancement which we, in America, have made within one hundred years we may see how the solution of one problem aids to solve a new problem; how the ground gained to-day serves simply as a point from which to advance to occupy new gnqund to-morrow.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Human Heredity: Methods of Collecting, Charting and Analyzing Data Whenever the field worker learns of any defectives who need Institutional care, their names and addresses are obtained, and filed with the other material. By this means useful information is available when application is made for admission to Institutions. As collected, the data are carefully recorded, and the pedigree chart made of the family. This is then put in permanent form on a sheet of white paper 8 x inches, with such notes and symbols as have been adopted to designate certain traits.

Download or read book Treasury of Human Inheritance Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Karl Pearson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 874 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treasury of Human Inheritance, Vol. 1 For a publication of this kind to be successful at the present time, it should, as I have indicated above, be entirely free from controversial matter. The T reasmy of Human Inheritance therefore contains no reference to theoretical opinions. It gives in a standardised form the pedigree of each stock. This is accompanied by a few pages of text describing the individual members of the stock, giving references to authorities, and, if the material has been published, to the locus of original publication. When necessary the characteristic is illustrated by photography or radiography. In this way, it is hoped in the course of a few years to place a large mass of material in the hands of the student of human heredity. It will not cut him off from, but directly guide him to original and fuller sources of information. Further the Treasury will provide students of eugenics and of sociology, medical men and others with an organ where their investigations can find ready publication, and where as time goes on a higher and more complete standard of family history than has hitherto been usual can be maintained. Each pedigree and its description appears under the name of the author responsible for its completeness and accuracy; and by aid of a key number to a confidential manuscript register of names and localities, it is hoped that it may be occasionally possible for future investigators to recover traces of individual stocks, or to ascertain whether newly discovered cases can be linked on to previously recorded families'. No one who has attempted a collection of this kind drawn from many quarters and prepared by different writers, will be over severe on discrepancies and omissions in the earlier issues. The full work of standardisation can only be carried out as the diverse needs of different types of family characters are better appreciated. It is not always possible to maintain a proper balance between the graphic and verbal descrip tions but I wish most strongly to insist on the point that neither are to be interpreted alone they are component parts of one whole, and the reader who draws conclusions from the engraved pedigrees without consulting the verbal accounts is certain to be led into error. Presence or absence of a character cannot be settled by the simple blacking or omitting to black a circle. The description is practically that of the original observer, whereas the pedigree is the work of the author of the special section of the Treasury and he may under or over-estimate the statement presented to him. As general editor, I feel sure that much care has been taken to reach an unbiassed judgment, and I know that contributors and members of this laboratory have Spent many days of labour in following up both original pedigrees and pedigrees in dissertations, books and journals very hard indeed of access.
