Heredity Of Skin Color In Negro-White Crosses is a scientific book written by Charles Benedict Davenport in 1913. The book explores the genetic inheritance of skin color in individuals of mixed African and European ancestry. Davenport, a prominent American biologist and eugenicist, conducted extensive research on the subject, using a large sample of mixed-race individuals and their families. The book provides detailed information on the methods used in the research, including the measurement of skin color using a standardized scale, and the analysis of family pedigrees.

Produktbeschreibung
Heredity Of Skin Color In Negro-White Crosses is a scientific book written by Charles Benedict Davenport in 1913. The book explores the genetic inheritance of skin color in individuals of mixed African and European ancestry. Davenport, a prominent American biologist and eugenicist, conducted extensive research on the subject, using a large sample of mixed-race individuals and their families. The book provides detailed information on the methods used in the research, including the measurement of skin color using a standardized scale, and the analysis of family pedigrees. Davenport also discusses the various factors that can influence skin color, such as age, sex, and exposure to sunlight. One of the key findings of the book is that skin color in mixed-race individuals is inherited in a complex manner, with multiple genes playing a role. Davenport also notes that skin color can vary widely even within families, which suggests that environmental factors may also play a role in determining skin color. Overall, Heredity Of Skin Color In Negro-White Crosses is an important contribution to the field of genetics and provides valuable insights into the complex nature of human inheritance. However, it should be noted that the book reflects the racial attitudes and biases of its time, and some of its conclusions have been criticized as promoting eugenic ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
