Abstract

The essays in these two volumes comprise the scientific papers delivered at the second international congress of eugenics, held in New York City in 1921. Three addresses, by Osborne, Darwin and Davenport, are written particularly for the public. The scientific papers are technical in character, and cover the entire field of heredity and family studies. These papers indicate that the scientific study of inheritance has traveled a long road during the last twenty years. Such questions as the genesis of twins, disturbances in development produced by radium, inheritance of cancer, eye defects and mental disorders, the effects of inbreeding, race mixture
