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.

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. A full description, with all details, is typewritten and filed with the chart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

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 Human Genetics and Its Social Import In addition to the insight gained through experimental breeding, our knowledge Of genetics has been greatly em riched by the remarkable discoveries made by the cytologists regarding the cellular basis Of hereditary transmission. Genetics and cytology have advanced hand in hand, inas much as the discoveries in the one field help us to interpret the phenomena observed in the other. In fact, some knowl edge Of cytology is now essential for a proper comprehension of genetics. Our first chapter, therefore, is devoted to the cell and some of the peculiar cellular processes associated with sexual reproduction.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity and Eugenics The central problem of evolution is still the nature and causes of variation, while the practical problems of eugenics centre about heredity. Variation in past ages has already endowed the human race with an almost infinite variety of types and characters, many of the latter alternative in their inheritance. We have only to compare those we know best with their relatives and ancestors to realise how minute are the resemblances and differences which may be handed on to descendants and collateral lines. These are, no doubt, chiefly a matter of biological inheritance, though similarity of environment may play a' part in certain cases. Probably in no other species of animal or plant does the number of differences between individuals approach the number to be Observed in man. This is to be expected, because of the mental and physical complexity of the human organism; but it does not imply greater intrinsic variability than in other animals or plants.

Download or read book Genetics written by Herbert Eugene Walter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genetics: An Introduction to the Study of Heredity The following pages had their origin in a course of lectures upon Heredity, given at Brown University during the winter of 1911 - 1912, which were amplified and repeated in part the following summer at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, before the biological summer school of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. An attempt has been made to summarize for the intelligent, but uninitiated, reader some of the more recent phases of the questions of heredity which are at present agitating the biological world. It is hoped that this summary will not only be of interest to the general reader, but that it will also be of service in college courses dealing with evolution and heredity. The subject of heredity concerns every one, but many of those who wish to become better informed regarding it are either too busily engaged or lack the opportunity to study the matter out for themselves. The recent literature in this field is already very large, with every indication that much more is about to follow, which is a further discouragement to non technical readers.
