Description
Summary:Reviews the book, Family Treasures: A Study of the Inheritance of Normal Characteristics in Man by David D. Whitney (see record 1943-01550-000). This book is a pleasant, interesting and stimulating introductory book on the personal inheritance of family traits, especially useful for those wholly unfamiliar with the problems of dominant and recessive traits. The presentation is unusual in that it is based upon photographs of normal traits appearing in several successive generations of the same families. The press work is unusually good and the reproduction of photographs unfailingly clear. The book is an excellent source for inheritance. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
