Inbreeding And Outbreeding: Their Genetic And Sociological Significance

By Donald F Jones, Edward M East, Edward M. East, et al.

Book Overview

Inbreeding and Outbreeding: Their Genetic and Sociological Significance is a book written by Edward M. East that explores the effects of inbreeding and outbreeding on genetics and society. The book examines the genetic consequences of inbreeding, including increased risk of genetic disorders and decreased genetic diversity. It also explores the benefits and drawbacks of outbreeding, including increased genetic diversity and potential for hybrid vigor, but also the risk of introducing harmful alleles from other populations. In addition to the genetic implications, the book also delves into the sociological significance of inbreeding and outbreeding. It discusses the cultural and social factors that influence mating patterns, such as religious and cultural traditions, and the impact of these patterns on society as a whole. The book is a comprehensive examination of the complex issues surrounding inbreeding and outbreeding, and is intended for a wide audience including geneticists, sociologists, and anyone interested in the intersection of genetics and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
