O knihe

Excerpt from Biological Lectures: Delivered at the Marine Biological Laboratory of Wood's Holl, 1896-1897

IN the preface to the second volume of these Lectures it is stated that one of the leading objects of the course is to bring forward the unsettled problems of the day, and to discuss them freely. The question of the adequacy of natural selec tion is one that at the present time still divides two schools of speculative biology, and is a question that can be solved only by those inductive methods which it is the function of a Biological Laboratory to suggest, adopt, and execute.

The principle of Panmixia, or the suspension of the pre serving in¿uence of natural selection, has formed an integral part of the speculative writings of Weismann, and, as part of his theory of the continuity of the germ-plasm, is presumed to explain adequately the reduction of useless organs, and the occurrence, especially among domesticated animals, of the greater number of those variations which are usually attributed to the direct in¿uence of the external conditions of life.
