    About this ebook

    Charles Benedict Davenport, America's most prominent eugenicists and biologists in this book discussed some of the results of his scientific study on domestic fowls. It describes the distribution of characteristics across a breeding generation of fowls. It is one of the earliest research that reveals the existence of dominance of specific characteristics in the filial generation (F1 and F2).

      Mar 8, 2018

      The idea that genes encode all the heritable features of living things has been a fundamental tenet of genetics and evolutionary biology for many years, but this assumption has always coexisted uncomfortably with the messy findings of empirical resea

      Evolution Is Really Not That Into Sex

      May 16, 2019
