This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... Heritage Contributed by Each Generation and by Each Separate Ancestor According to the Law of Ancestral Heredity us Stated by Gallon. There are usually a few individual ancestors who, by their great prepotency, dominate the ancestry and have more than their regular fractional influence in determining the nature of the progeny. The more of such impressive ancestors there are, provided their impressiveness is along the same line, the stronger the transmission of their characters will become. Line, or inbreeding, is practiced with this in view, the same individuals being used as many times as possible, thus intensifying the hereditary transmission of their characters. The germ plasm, representing the union of the two sex cells, is the physical basis of heredity. It represents both the characters of the ancestry which are dominant in this generation, and will therefore be manifested by the individual developed from the germ plasm, and the potential characters of the entire ancestry, which may remain recessive in this generation and not be manifested in this particular individual, but may, in the next succeeding generations, become dominant, some in one individual descendant and some in another. Thus the unlikeness of brothers may be accounted for. Transmission is, therefore, not from the individual parent but from the ancestry through the parent. The individual manifests but a part of the characters which he inherits, and is consequently capable of transmitting characters which he himself does not possess. All the possibilities of transmission can be learned only by a study of the ancestry. Unknown individuals in the ancestry introduce unknown possibilities into the progeny, hence the advantage of the pure-bred parent, the known excellence of whose...
