Regeneration, by Thomas Hunt MorganPREFACEThis volume is the outcome of a course of five lectures on “Regeneration and Experimental Embryology,” given in Columbia University in January, 1900. The subjects dealt with in the lectures are here more fully treated and are supplemented by the discussion of a number of related topics. During the last few years the problems connected with the regeneration of organisms have interested a large number of biologists, and much new work has been done in this field; especially in connection with the regenerative phenomena of the egg and early embryo. The development of isolated cells or blastomeres has, for instance, aroused widespread interest. It has become clearer, as new discoveries have been made, that the latter phenomena are only special cases of the general phenomena of regeneration in organisms, so that the results have been treated from this point of view in the present volume.If it should appear that at times I have gone out of my way to attack the hypothesis of preformed nuclear germs, and also the theory of natural selection as applied to regeneration, I trust that the importance of the questions involved may be an excuse for the criticism.If I may be pardoned a further word of personal import, I should like to add that it has seemed to me that far more essential than each special question with which the biologist has to deal is his attitude toward the general subject of biology as a science. Never before in the history of biology has this been more important than at the present time, when we so often fail to realize which problems are really scientific and which methods are legitimate for the solution of these problems. The custom of indulging in exaggerated and unverifiable speculation bids fair to dull our appreciation for hypotheses whose chief value lies in the possibility of their verification; but those who have spent their time and their imagination in such speculations cannot hope for long to hold their own against the slow but certain advance of a scientific spirit of investigation of organic phenomena. The historical questions with which so many problems seem to be connected, and for which there is no rigorous experimental test, are perhaps responsible for the loose way in which many problems in biology are treated, where fancy too often supplies the place of demonstration. If, then, I have tried to use my material in such a way as to turn the evidence against some of the uncritical hypotheses of biology, I trust that the book may have a wider bearing than simply as a treatment of the problems of regeneration.I wish to acknowledge my many obligations to Professor H. F. Osborn and to Professor E. B. Wilson for friendly criticism and advice; and in connection with the revision of the text I am greatly indebted to Professor J. W. Warren, to Professor W. M. Wheeler, to Professor G. H. Parker, and to Professor Leo Loeb.Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania,June 11, 1901.
