A puzzle in heredity solved by L. S. Penrose , F.R.S. Galton Professor of Eugenics,
' University College. London
'A New Species of Man covered with scales and, in some places, with bristles like those of a hedgehog, whose great-grandfather was found savage in North America': this was the advertisement for the third porcupine man when he exhibited himself in Fleet Street in 1819. Lies told by this man have helped to promote a crucial fallacy in modern genetics.
