In the nineteenth century and beyond, scientists at Cambridge
produced some of the most significant developments in the study of
biological variation and inheritance. The work of William Bateson
(several of whose books are also reissued in this series) was
especially important in this regard. This book, first published in
1906 by the botanist Robert Heath Lock (1879 1915), lucidly traces
these and other milestones in modern biological understanding. A
readable account is given of the evolution of the discipline since
the publication of Darwin's On the Origins of Species in 1859,
taking in the biometrical contributions of Francis Galton and the
research into mutation conducted by Hugo de Vries. The pioneering
experiments of Gregor Mendel, and the more recent rediscovery of
his laws of inheritance, are clearly contextualised so that
non-specialist readers can appreciate the scientific progress that
had been made in the half-century prior to the book's first
publication.
