Abstract
GENETICS is one of the youngest, yet also one of the most actively developing, branches of biology. At present neither its own theoretical structure and internal consistency nor its importance for general biology and human affairs is widely appreciated outside the immediate circle of geneticists themselves. This is in a great measure due to the lack of books giving simple accounts of the subject, particularly in its broader connexions.
