Individuality in Organisms

By Charles Manning Child

Book Overview

Individuality In Organisms is a book written by Charles Manning Child and published in 1915. The book explores the concept of individuality in organisms, and how it relates to the study of biology. Child argues that individuality is a fundamental aspect of living organisms, and that it is important to understand how it arises and is maintained.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of individuality. The first chapter discusses the nature of individuality, and how it differs from other concepts such as species and variety. The second chapter explores the role of environment in shaping individuality, while the third chapter looks at the role of genetics.The fourth chapter focuses on the development of individuality, and how it emerges during the growth and maturation of an organism. The fifth chapter explores the relationship between individuality and evolution, and how individual differences can lead to the development of new species.Throughout the book, Child draws on examples from the natural world to illustrate his points, and he also discusses the work of other biologists who have studied individuality. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both students and general readers interested in the study of biology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
