Focusing on evolutionary biology, this work by August Weismann explores the theory of descent and the mechanisms of heredity. Weismann challenges prevailing ideas of his time, emphasizing the importance of germ plasm in inheritance and proposing that acquired characteristics are not passed on to future generations. His theories laid foundational concepts for modern genetics, making significant contributions to the understanding of evolution and the continuity of life.
