His Obituary In The American Naturalist Sept 1898 Pp 717-718 Refers To A Total Output Of 143 Papers Being Reported By His Brother Which Possibly Includes Reprints And Translations As He Wrote In Both German And English And This Collection Appears Complete. Baur Was Last A Professor At The University Of Chicago 1892 -1898. Baur Wrote Extensively On Various Paleontological Topics. He Also Built On The Late Nineteenth Century Theory Of Evolution And Wrote Extensively On His Idea That Changes In Morphology Might Be Brought Out By A Change In Environment Including Nutrition Etc. Such That These Changed Characteristics Would Persist In Successive Generations So Long As The Changed Conditions Persisted For Which There Is Now Some Evidence For At Least Three Generations. He Cited Extensively To Personal Observations And Reports From Others. His Work Differs From Weizmann Etc. In That He Maintained That Changes In Environment Could Bring Out Changes In Morphology Without Changes In The Genetic Material Such Changes Persisting In Successive Generations When The Environmental Changes Also Persisted. In One Such 1891 Paper He Concludes With A Citation To Darwin's Letter To Wagner: "In My Opinion The Greatest Error Which I Have Committed Has Been Not Allowing Sufficient Weight To The Direct Action Of The Environment - I.E. Food Climate Etc. -Independently Of Natural Selection." Although Now Dismissed Some Because Of His Neo-Lamarckian Ideas His Departures From Rigorous Scientific Evidence In Genetics Is Perhaps Less Serious Than The Acceptance And Promotion Of The Ideas Of "Phlogiston" By Important Earlier Chemists And Of "Ether" By His Contemporaries Among Important Physicists; And The Emphasis Of The Neo-Lamarckians On Environmental Nutritional And Physiological Factors Is More In Keeping With Modern Understanding Of Individual Development Than The Emphasis Upon Purely Genetic Evolution Which Treats Only Classes Of Individuals By Arbitrary Groupings Into Classes Of Individuals . Complete Collections Of Original Manuscripts And Scientific Offprints From This Period Are Increasingly Uncommon In The Market.

By 1928 he became professor of genetics at CalTech worked with Nobel Prize-winner George Beadle and later the 1965 John J. Carty Award for the Advancement of Science and the 1967 National Medal of Science. Morgan did choose in 1933 to share his Nobel Prize money with Sturtevant and Bridges.

Rickes. First edition of this first major statistical and biometric study of biological variation which established foundational concepts like regression to the mean and the law of ancestral heredity that shaped quantitative genetics. Galton was a pioneer in forensic science heredity and more fields and half-cousin to Charles Darwin whose studies on inheritance of certain traits such as the hereditary nature of later served as the basis of behavioral genetics or eugenics which later was used to justify compulsory sterilization programs across the United States and by Nazi Germany for mass extermination.

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.

Auerbach 1899-1994 was perhaps also best remembered for her work Genetics in the Atomic Age 1956 as well as her vociferous opposition to Nuclear weapons and Apartheid.
