The Origin Of A Polydactylous Race Of Guinea-Pigs

By William Ernest Castle

""The Origin of a Polydactylous Race of Guinea-Pigs"" is a scientific book written by William E. Castle. The book explores the genetic basis of polydactyly, a condition where an individual has more than the usual number of digits on their hands or feet, in guinea pigs. Castle presents his findings from his experiments with breeding guinea pigs with polydactyly and analyzing their offspring. He discusses the inheritance patterns of polydactyly and the role of genetic mutations in its development. The book provides valuable insights into the genetics of polydactyly and its evolution in guinea pigs. It is a must-read for geneticists, biologists, and anyone interested in the study of animal genetics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
