190344335Jena Gustav Fischer 1903. Lex8vo. Fine contemp. hcloth. spine gilt and with gilt lettering. 668 pp. textfigs. Internally clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First edition of a groundbreaking work in genetics in which Johannsen introduces the concept of "pure line". Johannsen's work is dedicated to Francis Galton "the creator of the exact science of heredity". Johannsen was the first to attribute to mutation the origin of the small differences in the continous kind of variability characteristic of normal heredity."Yet Johannsen had shown that Galton's "law of regression" was wrong when applied as Galton had done - to impure or mixed populations. He proved that selection was ineffective - that is regression to parental averages was complete - only in the offspring derived by self-fertilization from a single parent as in peas beans and other "selfers." The offspings and descendants from such a plant Johannsen referred to as a "pure line". His theory was that offspring of a pure line were genetically identical and that fluctuating variability among such offspring was due to effects of change and enviromental factors. These effects were not heritable and hence were not subject to the action of selection either natural or artificial."DSB VII p. 114.Garrison & Morton No. 242. </em> hardcover

Multidisciplinary research on the genetic contributions to criminal and antisocial behavior for behavioral geneticists theorists neuroscientists philosophers and criminologists. -- Criminal and antisocial behaviour threaten cooperative social organization and each culture has developed methods to isolate and punish criminals. However criminal behaviour has not been eliminated in any culture and so it is rational to try to use scientific approaches to explain the origins and causes of criminal behaviour and to suggest ways of preventing crime or rehabilitating offenders. There has been extensive research on environmental causes of criminal behaviour: this book examines the evidence for genetic contributions. Twin and adoption studies suggest that there may be genetic contributions to some criminal behaviours. The data are examined in detail in this book which includes discussion of the methodological problems of disentangling genetic and environmental sources of variance in behaviour. In animals aggression is commonly an appropriate response to environmental stimuli: data from the relevant animal studies of the inheritance of aggressiveness are included in the book. There have been reports suggesting neuropharmacological abnormalities in violent offenders. These represent potential underlying mechanisms whereby genetic influences could be mediated. The recent evidence regarding brain and in particular neurotransmitter abnormalities is discussed. A heritable tendency to behave in a particular way would have significant implications for criminology particularly for rehabilitation strategies. Important issues also arise for moral philosophy. Separate chapters examine evolutionary and anthropological aspects of violence and warfare. The book is truly multidisciplinary and contains contributions from behavioural geneticists population geneticists evolutionary theorists neuroscientists philosophers and criminologists. -- with a bonus offer-- .

The essays address basic conceptual methodological and ethical issues raised by genetic research on criminal behavior but largely ignored in the public debate. They explore the complexities in tracing any genetic influence on criminal violent or antisocial behavior the varieties of interpretation to which evidence of such influences is subject and the relevance of such influences to the moral and legal appraisal of criminal conduct. The volume provides a critical overview of the assumptions methods and findings of recent behavioral genetics. -- with a bonus offer-- . John Wiley & Son Ltd hardcover
