William Bateson (1861–1926) British geneticist and biologist

Preface
Problems In Genetics (1913)

Our knowledge of the nature and properties of living things is far too meagre to justify any such attempts. Suggestions of course can be made: though, however, these ideas may have a stimulating value in the lecture room, they look weak and thin when set out in print.
