The Cultural History Of Heredity: Scholars From A Range Of Disciplines Discuss The Evolution Of The Concept Of Heredity, From The Early Modern Understanding Of The Act Of Generation To Its Later Nineteenthcentury Definition As The Transmission Of Characteristics Across Generations.Until The Middle Of The Eighteenth Century, The Biological Makeup Of An Organism Was Ascribed To An Individual Instance Of GenerationInvolving Conception, Pregnancy, Embryonic Development, Parturition, Lactation, And Even Astral Influences And Maternal Moodrather Than The Biological Transmission Of Traits And Characteristics. Discussions Of Heredity And Inheritance Took Place Largely In The Legal And Political Sphere. In Heredity Produced, Scholars From A Broad Range Of Disciplines Explore The Development Of The Concept Of Heredity From The Early Modern Period To The Era Of Darwin And Mendel.The Contributors Examine The Evolution Of The Concept In Disparate Cultural Realmsincluding Law, Medicine, And Natural Historyand Show That It Did Not Coalesce Into A More General Understanding Of Heredity Until The Midnineteenth Century. They Consider Inheritance And Kinship In A Legal Context; The Classification Of Certain Diseases As Hereditary; The Study Of Botany; Animal And Plant Breeding And Hybridization For Desirable Characteristics; Theories Of Generation And Evolution; And Anthropology And Its Study Of Physical Differences Among Humans, Particularly Skin Color. The Editors Argue That Only When People, Animals, And Plants Became More Mobileand Were Separated From Their Natural Habitats Through Exploration, Colonialism, And Other Causescould Scientists Distinguish Between Inherited And Environmentally Induced Traits And Develop A Coherent Theory Of Heredity.Contributorsdavid Sabean, Silvia De Renzi, Ulrike Vedder, Carlos Lpez Beltrn, Phillip K.
