Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Medical Contributions to the Study of Evolution When at the beginning of the Great War the invitation was tendered to me to deliver the time-honoured Croonian Lectures before the Royal College of Physicians of London, it was long months before I could determine my subject. During these months the burden of administrative work in connection with the Canadian Army Medical Service became progressively greater. Research in the laboratory was out of the question. My official duties at that period dealt largely with returns and statistics of invalidism, but soon it became apparent that months, if not years, must elapse before the vast mass of material being collected by the Medical Research Committee at the British Museum would be fully available. Inevitably, therefore, I was led to fall back upon previous studies, and, when still debating, a chance discussion with a leading British biologist convinced me that the time was ripe to bring together and sum up the conclusions regarding Adaptation which as a student of pathology I had reached gradually in the years preceding the War. I judged from the discussion above referred to that that earlier work was not known to biologists in general. Varied as is his reading and brilliant his memory, this distinguished biologist was evidently wholly ignorant concerning it.
