The case of Paul Krammerer : the most controversial biologist of his time

Zusammenfassung: "Paul Kammerer (1880-1926) who remained up to this day one of the most controversial scientists of the early 20th century, emerges now as a modernizer of the theory of evolution and genetics. Kammerer attempted a synthesis of Darwinism with genetics and the chromosome theory, while retaining the modifying role of environmental impact, thereby becoming the 'father' of epigenetics. A popular lecturer and non-conformist scientist, his stormy personal and professional life form a fascinating picture of Vienna as an artistic and scientific centre at the turn-of-the-century while imminent fascism was already casting its shadow on the intersection between science and politics."--(Provided by publisher.)
