Excerpt from Mendel's Law and the Heredity of Albinism
Albinism, or the absence of the normal pigmentation of an organism, is a not infrequent phenomenon in both animals and plants, yet its occurrence in nature is sporadic and has usually been interpreted as an indication of organic weakness. But this interpretation is probably erroneous, for albino races of domesticated animals are apparently not inferior in vigor to other races. Such is demonstrably the case with albino mice.
