Abstract
THE extraordinary growth of genetics as a science has been accompanied by the publication of innumerable volumes giving general accounts of progress or more detailed studies of particular fields. The contributions of Prof. Jennings to this subject have been notable, especially his work on the Protozoa and on the mathematical rules of segregation. His writings, moreover, bear the hall-mark of clarity and order-’ liness of thought. They are therefore well adapted for the introduction of these aspects of biology to the general reader. Another notable aspect of Prof. Jennings's books is that he does not confine his biological conclusions to animals and plants, but brings them home directly by their application to man himself. The present volume will sustain his reputation as a thinker who faces the biological and eugenic conclusions to be drawn from genetical research.
