Description
Edinburgh: Oliver & Boyd, 1968. First edition. PROCEEDINGS OF 1967 SYMPOSIUM ON GENETICS, EVOLUTION, AND EUGENICS. 8 3/4 inches tall hardcover, red cloth binding, gilt title to spine, i-x, 217 pp, figures in text. Corners bumped, spine faded, handstamp to page edges, endpapers, title page, of Library of Anatomy Dept. Univ. Cambridge, text unmarked. Very good minus in custom archival mylar cover. This volume reports the proceedings of the fourth Symposium of the Eugenics Society. It deals with the interaction of genetic and environmental factors with regard to human behavioral patterns. JOHN MARION THODAY (1916 – 2008) was Arthur Balfour Professor of Genetics at Cambridge University between 1959 and 1983 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1965. He has published an important thesis on the meaning of biological progress in evolution and the role of genetic variation in determining long term fitness. He has pioneered a method for the location on chromosomes of genes mediating continuous variation, and showed (contrary to accepted theory) that the genes at different loci affected the quantitative character in qualitatively different ways. ALAN STERLING PARKES (1900 – 1990) was an English reproductive biologist who pioneered the development of the field of cryobiology. In 1962, Parkes was awarded the Cameron Prize for Therapeutics of the University of Edinburgh.
