The scope and significance of cytoplasmic inheritance has been the subject of one of the longest controversies in the history of genetics. In the first major book on the history of this subject, Jan Sapp analyses the persistent attempts of investigators of non-Mendelian inheritance to establish their claims, in the face of strong resistance from nucleo-centric geneticists and classical neo-Darwinians. A new perspective on the history of genetics is offered, as he explores the oppositions which have shaped theoretical thinking about heredity and evolution throughout the century: materialism/vitalism, reductionism/holism, preformation/epigenesis, neo-Darwinism/neo-Lamarckism, gradualism/saltationism.
Defining the organism; Constructing heredity; Challenging the nuclear monopoly of the cell in Germany; T.M. Sonneborn: Making plasmagenes in America; Boris Ephrussi and the birth of genetics in France; The cold war in genetics; Problems with 'master molecules'; Patterns of power; Bibliography; Index.
