1903Best.-Nr. 44335Jena Gustav Fischer 1903. Lex8vo. Fine contemp. hcloth. spine gilt and with gilt lettering. 668 pp. textfigs. Internally clean and fine. First edition of a groundbreaking work in genetics in which Johannsen introduces the concept of "pure line". Johannsen's work is dedicated to Francis Galton "the creator of the exact science of heredity". Johannsen was the first to attribute to mutation the origin of the small differences in the continous kind of variability characteristic of normal heredity."Yet Johannsen had shown that Galton's "law of regression" was wrong when applied as Galton had done - to impure or mixed populations. He proved that selection was ineffective - that is regression to parental averages was complete - only in the offspring derived by self-fertilization from a single parent as in peas beans and other "selfers." The offspings and descendants from such a plant Johannsen referred to as a "pure line". His theory was that offspring of a pure line were genetically identical and that fluctuating variability among such offspring was due to effects of change and enviromental factors. These effects were not heritable and hence were not subject to the action of selection either natural or artificial."DSB VII p. 114.Garrison & Morton No. 242. hardcover

Gray-brown softcovers title on front cover contents on back cover minor edgewear toning minor chipping head & foot of spine minor bumping to corners still a VG- copy from the libraries of Elof Axel Carlson 1931-2025 noted geneticist historian of science and fierce opponent of eugenics and his mentor Hermann J. Mueller 1890-1967 Nobel Prize-winning geneticist who first showed exposure to radiation could produce mutations in living organisms ink manuscript note in Mueller’s hand indicating he had ordered a Mendel portrait on April 3. First edition of the first issue of this groundbreaking American scientific journal on genetics which featured Calvin Bridges pioneering work on nondisjunction which offered proofs that genes reside in chromosomes which set up the nomenclature system for naming fly mutants; one of Jennings’ foundational works proving that conjugation resulted in new combinations of hereditary traits and finally Cushing’s important work on tracing kindred with symphalangism or inheritance of genetic disorder causing straight fingers from fusion of finger joints. These early papers for clinical genetics served as excellent studies for launching this key periodical which would continue to be advanced and influenced prominent American biologists and geneticists in Jennings and Morgan’s circles. Shull was a prominent early geneticist who began as a botanical investigator at the Carnegie Institution and later with Princeton from 1915 to 1942 applying the principles of Mendelian heredity in analyzing the inheritance of quantitative characters in corn and later influenced hybridization techniques in tandem with Luther Burbank.

Entire issue offered. De Vries paper: pp. 845-847. Rather poor paperquality fragile. Small nicks to margins of titlepage. First appearance of a milestone paper in genetics being the "REDISCOVERY" OF MENDEL'S LAWS OF HEREDITY" - This paper together with the two other papers from the same year by Carl Correns and Erich Tschermak laid the foundations of a new scientific discipline that in 1906 was given the name "genetics" and less than a century later rose to become the leading science in Western society. This French announcement was published 4 days before his longer paper "Das Spaltungsgesetzt der Hybride" in which Mendel is mentioned.De Vries completed most of his hybridization experiments without knowing about Mendel's work. Based on his own results de Vries drew the same conclusions as Mendel. De Vries published his work in 1900 first in French then in German. In the French report there was no mention of Mendel but this was amended by de Vries in the German paper. It is possible that de Vries read Mendel's paper before he published his own and included Mendel's name in the later printing when he realized that other people also knew about Mendel's work. De Vries may have thought that his own conclusions were superior to Mendel's. "During the 1880s de Vries became interested in heredity. In 1889 he published Intracellular Pangenesis in which he critically reviewed previous research on inheritance and advanced the theory that elements in the nucleus ‘pangenes’ determine hereditary traits. To investigate his theories he began breeding plants in 1892 and by 1896 had obtained clear evidence for the segregation of characters in the offspring of crosses in 3:1 ratios. He delayed publishing these results proposing to include them in a larger book but in 1900 he came across the work of Gregor Mendel published 34 years earlier and announced his own findings. This stimulated both Karl Correns and Erich von Tschermak-Seysenegg to publish their essentially similar observations."
