Materials For The Study Of Variation

Materials For The Study Of Variation: Treated With Especial Regard To Discontinuity In The Origin Of Species is a book written by William Bateson and published in 1894. The book is a comprehensive study of the concept of variation in biology, with a particular focus on the idea of discontinuity in the origin of species. Bateson explores the different types of variation that exist in nature, including individual variation, geographical variation, and variation between species. He also discusses the role of heredity in the transmission of variation from one generation to the next, and the ways in which this process can lead to the formation of new species. Throughout the book, Bateson draws on a wide range of examples from the natural world to illustrate his points, including plants, animals, and humans. Materials For The Study Of Variation is a seminal work in the field of biology, and remains an important reference for anyone interested in the study of variation and evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
