The Author's Personal Copies No Duplicates Of His Nineteenth Century Works On Paleontology And Related Areas Of Biology 127 Of His Published Writings Including Original Offprints Extracts Title Pages Manuscripts And Notes In German Or English With A Few Clippings And Photographs Laid In Loosely. Three Volumes Dark Brown Pebbled Cloth Over Brown Patterned Boards. Bindings Worn And Frayed Material Should Be Professionally Rebound With Archival Materials. His Obituary In The American Naturalist Sept 1898 Pp 717-718 Refers To A Total Output Of 143 Papers Being Reported By His Brother Which Possibly Includes Reprints And Translations As He Wrote In Both German And English And This Collection Appears Complete. Baur Was Last A Professor At The University Of Chicago 1892 -1898. Baur Wrote Extensively On Various Paleontological Topics. He Also Built On The Late Nineteenth Century Theory Of Evolution And Wrote Extensively On His Idea That Changes In Morphology Might Be Brought Out By A Change In Environment Including Nutrition Etc. Such That These Changed Characteristics Would Persist In Successive Generations So Long As The Changed Conditions Persisted For Which There Is Now Some Evidence For At Least Three Generations. He Cited Extensively To Personal Observations And Reports From Others. His Work Differs From Weizmann Etc. In That He Maintained That Changes In Environment Could Bring Out Changes In Morphology Without Changes In The Genetic Material Such Changes Persisting In Successive Generations When The Environmental Changes Also Persisted. In One Such 1891 Paper He Concludes With A Citation To Darwin's Letter To Wagner: "In My Opinion The Greatest Error Which I Have Committed Has Been Not Allowing Sufficient Weight To The Direct Action Of The Environment - I.E. Food Climate Etc. -Independently Of Natural Selection." Although Now Dismissed Some Because Of His Neo-Lamarckian Ideas His Departures From Rigorous Scientific Evidence In Genetics Is Perhaps Less Serious Than The Acceptance And Promotion Of The Ideas Of "Phlogiston" By Important Earlier Chemists And Of "Ether" By His Contemporaries Among Important Physicists; And The Emphasis Of The Neo-Lamarckians On Environmental Nutritional And Physiological Factors Is More In Keeping With Modern Understanding Of Individual Development Than The Emphasis Upon Purely Genetic Evolution Which Treats Only Classes Of Individuals By Arbitrary Groupings Into Classes Of Individuals .

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
