Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heredity of Acquired Characters in Plants The object of this book is to prove that Evolution - so far as Plants are concerned - depends upon the Inheritance of Acquired Characters. This was Darwin's contention. Dr Weismann and his followers assert that no such characters can ever be hereditary unless the influence of the environment can reach and affect the reproductive organs, or his hypothetical substance "germ-plasm." As all the characters of the vegetative system, or the soma of plants, which are regarded as specific, are acquired long before any reproductive organs exist at all, and therefore before any vegetative cell has begun to assume a reproductive character, Dr Weismann's proviso is inappplicable to plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1907, this work by noted botanist George Henslow explores the controversial topic of whether and how acquired traits are passed down from one generation of plants to the next. Drawing on extensive experimentation and observation, Henslow argues that acquired characteristics do not play a significant role in heredity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eugenio Rignano Upon the Inheritance of Acquired Characters: A Hypothesis of Heredity, Development, and Assimilation Rignano is a student of Biology who has also the training of an engineer and physicist. His attack on bio logical problems is from that side. In this book he offers an explanation on a physical basis of assimilation, cell di vision, and the biogenetic law of recapitulation in ontog eny, and he suggests a mechanism whereby the inheritance of acquired characters may be effected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XLVIII ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT The biologists and physicians of today are inclined to underestimate the influence of the environment upon living beings and, on the other hand, to overestimate the effects of procreation. Only internal conditions are considered responsible for the development of the embryo, while the effectiveness of external conditions is almost denied, with the physical and mental characteristics of an individual irrevocably decided from the very start. Whatever future is held in store for the embryo and child remains supposedly unessential in comparison with the potentialities already contained in the generative cells of the parents and forebears. The main cause for the rejection of environment as a factor in development is the doubt with which the theory of the heredity of acquired characteristics is confronted. The question whether the effects of environment are hereditary is, to be sure, connected with, but essentially different from, the question whether the influences of environment affect the individual or its embryonic history at all. That this last question must be answered unconditionally in the affirmative cannot be contended by anybody now. The amount of proofs is so large that it seems superfluous to quote them (Chapter XXXVIII). Indubitably the quantity and quality of food, of light and air (oxygen, carbon-dioxide, humidity of the air, poisonous pollutions, such as dust, smoke, and illuminating gas), the extent and nature of exercise and daily labor, spiritual and mental impressions, make themselves powerfully felt in the life and the characteristics of the developed individual as well as in the one in the process of development. It is platitudinous to remark that the early childhood is more...

This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Status of the Problem of the Transmission of Acquired Characters The belief that a bodily modification is inherited is not only ancient, but has also been a matter of bitter controversy. The question still remains unsolved, but the weight of both contemporary Opinion and proof is against it. Much has been written on both sides and the question has seemed to be as interminable as free will versus determinism, as recurrent as the ocean tides, as perennial as the winter's snows, and seem ingly as eternal as the universe. The believers of either principle have been firmly convinced of the correctness of their position, and therefore discussions have often been char acterized by a spirit of reprehensible dogmatism and much heat but little light has been emitted. Fiminent scientists have come out strongly in favor of either position and no mat ter which side we take, we find ourselves in distinguished com pany. Therefore, a fair and impartial appraisal of each view in the light of recent experimental data as we can conveniently compress into a brief paper will be made. Time and Space pre elude an exhaustive examination of all relevant data. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Rather it is intended to Show that when the origin and history of man are studied from the scientific, and especially the biological side, the spiritual life, its partial failure, and the need for Atonement, far from receding into vagueness and unreality, are thrown into strong relief.
