520    "It was only around 1800 that heredity began to enter 
       debates among physicians, breeders, and naturalists. Soon 
       thereafter it evolved into one of the most fundamental 
       concepts of biology. Here Staffan Müller-Wille and Hans-
       Jörg Rheinberger offer a succinct cultural history of the 
       scientific concept of heredity. They outline the dramatic 
       changes the idea has undergone since the early modern 
       period and describe the political and technological 
       developments that brought about these changes. Müller-
       Wille and Rheinberger begin with an account of premodern 
       theories of generation, showing that these were concerned 
       with the procreation of individuals rather than with 
       hereditary transmission. The authors reveal that when 
       hereditarian thinking first emerged, it did so in a 
       variety of cultural domains, such as politics and law, 
       medicine, natural history, breeding, and anthropology. 
       Müller-Wille and Rheinberger then track theories of 
       heredity from the late nineteenth century--when leading 
       biologists considered it in light of growing societal 
       concerns with race and eugenics--through the rise of 
       classical and molecular genetics in the twentieth century,
       to today, as researchers apply sophisticated information 
       technologies to understand heredity ... What readers come 
       to see from this exquisite history is why it took such a 
       long time for heredity to become a prominent concept in 
       the life sciences and why it gained such overwhelming 
       importance in those sciences and the broader culture over 
       the last two centuries."--Jacket.
