George John Romanes "An Examination of Weismannism" is a crucial research of the idea of germ-plasm continuity, which became brought through German biologist August Weismann. Romanes' book dives into Weismann's thoughts on heredity, evolution, and the position of germ cells inside the transmission of genetic information. Romanes meticulously investigates Weismann's concept of germplasm continuity and its implications for knowledge the mechanics of heredity and version in organic creatures. He examines Weismann's theories on the difference among somatic and germ cells, the concept of genetic determinants, and the position of inheritance in evolutionary strategy. Romanes provides an in depth review of Weismann's ideals the usage of specific assessment and scholarly discourse, figuring out regions of settlement and war of words inside the clinical network. He conducts an intensive assessment of the empirical statistics and theoretical frameworks that again Weismann's germ-plasm precept, sparingly mentioning the complexity of organic inheritance and evolutionary dynamics. "An Examination of Weismannism" is a good sized addition to the sphere of evolutionary biology, providing a comprehensive analysis of one of the maximum influential ideas of heredity inside the late nineteenth century.

Thoughts on Religion

By: George John Romanes

George John Romanes FRS was a Canadian-born English evolutionary biologist and physiologist who laid the foundation of what he called comparative psychology, postulating a similarity of cognitive processes and mechanisms between humans and animals. He was the youngest of Charles Darwin's academic friends, and his views on evolution are historically important. He invented the term neo-Darwinism, which is still often used today to indicate an updated form of Darwinism. Romanes' early death was a loss to the cause of evolutionary biology in Britain. Within six years Mendel's work was rediscovered, and a whole new agenda opened up for debate. Romanes tackled the subject of evolution frequently. For the most part he supported Darwinism and the role of natural selection. However, he perceived three problems with Darwinian evolution: 1. The difference between natural species and domesticated varieties in respect to fertility. [this problem was especially pertinent to Darwin, who used the analogy of change in domesticated animals so frequently] 2. Structures which serve to distinguish allied species are often without any known utilitarian significance. [taxonomists choose the most visible and least changeable features to identify a species, but there may be a host of other differences which though not useful to the taxonomist are significant in survival terms] 3. The swamping influence upon an incipient species-split of free inter-crossing. [Here we strike the problem which most perplexed Darwin, with his ideas of blending inheritance. It was solved by the rediscovery of Mendelian genetics, and later work showed that particulate inheritance could underlie continuous variation: see the evolutionary synthesis]
