Originally published in 1932, this book presents a detailed discussion regarding the capacity of humans to influence the process of natural selection and thereby control its outcomes. The text was written by prominent British geneticist Charles Chamberlain Hurst (1870–1947). Illustrative figures and reference lists are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in perspectives on evolutionary development and the history of science.
