Four talks by John Waterhouse , Ph.D. Reader in Medical Statistics in the University of Birmingham
1—Science and Heredity
The science of human genetics is relatively new, and there are many questions frequently asked by the layman to which the geneticist can give no answer. However, in these talks Dr. Waterhouse attempts to set out, in relation to the ordinary person's interest, something of what is known about human heredity.
In his first talk he defines the limits and describes the methods of the science, and distinguishes between the influences of heredity and environment in human development.
