Description
The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. The Journal of Heredity, 1920 is a publication released by the American Genetic Association (AGA), a group of professionals dedicated to the understanding and exploration of plant and animal genetics. Established in 1903, the Association hoped to encourage the evaluation of plant and animal genetics in the hopes of producing improved organisms in every group. Through publication of the Journal of Heredity, the AGA attempted to spread knowledge that scientists were establishing in the field of genetics and to promote their mission of education and evaluation.
Improving the science of animal breeding and plant breeding was a primary goal of this monthly publication. To achieve this goal, the Association compiled a multitude of articles for the reader to explore and enjoy, spanning across a wide range of topics which relate back to genetics in some fashion or form. Some of the articles address specific animals (such as beef cows) or specific plants (such as the dahlia tree of Guatemala), while others are about specific individuals in the field of genetics, and others still detail the philosophies and theories behind genetic work.
The Journal of Heredity, 1920 is an entertaining read for anyone with a background in science, genetics, or biology. The publication is also an interesting read for people intrigued by evolution and the things that scientists have been doing for over a century to alter the genetic structure of plants and animals. For people who want to see a historic glimpse of the study of genetics and the practice of altering genes, this publication is a must read!
