Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Use-Inheritance: Illustrated by the Direction of Hair on the Bodies of Animals
I would submit that the value of these facts, taken as a test of Weismannism, rests upon their want of importance to the animals in which they are found. Further evidential value attaches to them from the fact that certain of them are stereotyped upon species others very similar are in process of development at the present time, and the factors that may be at work in producing them are open to investigation. This is a form of evidence too much wanting in most of the great problems of organic development. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
