Abstract
THERE would seem to be dozens of different ways of getting at the roots of biology. Each of them promises well at the outset. Experience has shown, however that the promise is often totally misleading. Of the diverse approaches to the theory of heredity made in the nineteenth century, Mendel‘s, in fact, seemed the most unpromising. Yet it alone disclosed foundations that could be soundly built upon.
