Organic Evolution As the Result of the Inheritance of Acquired Characters According to the Laws of Organic Growth

Originally published in 1902, this work challenges the prevailing theory of evolution by natural selection, arguing instead for the inheritance of acquired characters. The author, whose identity is unknown, draws on examples from the plant and animal kingdoms to support his argument, and lays out a framework for understanding the processes of organic growth and change.
