[August Weismann's concept of germ plasma as the basic reason for the inadequacy of neo-Darwinism].

Zhurnal obshchei biologii - 1 Jan 2000

Grodnitskiĭ D L

Abstract excerpt

Neo-Darwinism is a result of synthesis of Darwinian concept of natural selection with Weismannian concept of germ plasma. The concept of germ plasma is based on a hypothesis that phenotypic traits are completely determined by genes. Hence, neo-Darwinism describes evolution as a process of alternation of gene frequencies under the effect of natural selection. This is an inadequate approach to the study of...
