C. HUKSI A description, written by a man of science for the general reader, of those funda¬ mental units of life and mind which deter¬ mine the nature and behaviour of living organisms, from ultra-microscopic living particles to complex intellectual man. HEREDITY & THE ASCENT OF MAN The fascinating story of their evolution through the ages is told, and interesting speculations on experimental facts are set forth concerning the future of mankind. The author's conclusions that genetical researches of the last decade may give freedom and power to man to shape his own destiny and to be master of his own fate are of universal interest. .
