Excerpt from Heredity in Relation to Evolution and Animal Breeding
This little book is based on a course of eight lectures delivered in November and December, 1910, before the Lowell Institute, Boston, as well as on a course of five lectures delivered before the Graduate School of Agriculture held under the auspices of the Association of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations at Ames, Iowa, in July, 1910. The hope is entertained that it may be of service to students and that it will also interest the general reader.
The writer wishes to express his gratitude to the Carnegie Institution of Washington for permission, in its, preparation, to draw freely upon published and unpublished material derived from investigations aided by the Institution.
