Drawing upon the vast European and American scientific literature of the age, Bowler describes the tenets, methods, and implications of theistic evolution, Lamarckism, orthogenesis, genetics, and the mutation theory... (This book) describes the eventual synthesis of experimental genetics and Darwinism and the inevitable absorption of Lamarckism and other conservative schools into the fringes of genetics.
