Description

Description from Open Library (opens in a new tab)

THE first and chief point of interest in this chapter is, whether the numerous domesticated varieties of the dog have descended from a single wild species, or from several. THE great principle of inheritance to be discussed in this chapter has been recognised by agriculturists and authors of various nations, as shown by the scientific term Atavism, derived from atavus, an ancestor; by the English terms of Reversion, or Throwing-back; by the French Pas-en-Arriere; and by the German Ruckschlag, or Ruckschritt.
