Darkness and Dawn P. S. As to the question of atavism in which you showed some interest in our first conversation, I may say that our paternal line does not in my knowledge include any military man. Battle Studies On the other hand we have seen that these atavistic varieties may revert to their nearest progenitors, and this leads to the curious conception of positive and negative atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation He was undoubtedly a Norman, and, according to those who knew him best, many of his traits of character show that atavism is not always an idle word....

Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Physiologists have given the name of 'atavism' to the emerging again of a face in a family after its disappearance during two or three generations. On the Study of Words They can only be explained by evolution, which attributes them to atavism and latent heredity. The Evolution of Man — Volume 1 Now Ma had not gone wild all at once; her atavism had been gradual—the result of her persistent explorations. Flowing Gold There is, of course, a passing suggestion of Darwin's to account for atavism that might go to support the theory of the vileness of half-breeds, if it had ever been proved. A Modern Utopia As previously stated, it is one of the most manifest and most easily accessible examples of a latent character becoming active through systematic atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation In our own time the occasional appearance of such extraordinary mental powers may be attributed to atavism; but there must have been a beginning to the series of such rare and anomalous events. The Antiquity of Man And thus Imagination, when it is not a mere fresh combination of elements experienced, may be only a peculiar variety of atavism.

The Sea Wolf Some instances of atavism of this kind are well known, as they are often repeated by individuals that are multiplied by buds or by grafting. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation These investigations have led me to the conclusion, that atavism, as it is generally described, always or nearly always is due to hybridization, and therefore it is to be considered as untrue or false atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Systematic latency may betray itself in different ways, either by normal systematic marks, or by atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Hence a halfway returning and therefore positive atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Tall, branched stems with fan-shaped tops arise, constituting a series of steps towards complete atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Only the very rare occurrence of instances of atavism in varieties that are for the rest known to be absolutely constant, is to be considered. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation This is a general rule, and the exceptions, or cases of atavism are extremely rare. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Of course this could be done by long and tedious crossing experiments, showing atavism in the progeny, and thereby indicating the common ancestor. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Such a return to activity was formerly called atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Such reversions are now to be examined at some length and may be adequately treated under the head of systematic atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation But the domain of atavism is not restricted to the cases described. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Proceeding on this line of speculation we at once see that a very adequate opportunity for systematic atavism is offered here. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Bracts and analogous organs afford similar cases of systematic atavism in quite a number of other families. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Resuming this effective state, the case attains the value and significance accorded to systematic atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation It is an obvious example of systematic atavism, occurring suddenly and with the full development of all the qualities needed for the normal production of sporangia and spores. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Many other instances of such systematic atavism could be given, and every botanist can easily add some from memory. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation The case is to be considered as one of atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation In early spring some rosettes show a special condition of the leaves, indicating thereby at once their atavism and their tendency to become twisted as soon as they begin to expand. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation As a last example of systematic atavism I will refer to the reversionary changes, afforded by the tomatoes. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation From this discussion we seem justified in concluding that the original appearance of the upright type was of the nature of systematic atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation They once more show how necessary it is to separate the different cases, thrown together until now, under this general name of atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation This is also to be considered as a case of atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation After considering these rare instances of more widely known reversions, we may now examine the question of atavism from a broader point of view. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation If it now happens that such a variety of recorded origin should occasionally revert to its parent-species, we have all we can wish for, in the way of a thoroughly proved case of atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation For these reasons cases of atavism given without recording the circumstances, or the precautions that guarantee the purity of the fertilization, should always be disregarded. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Most of the cases referred to by Darwin, however, seem to be doubtful and cannot be considered as true proofs of atavism until more is known about the circumstances under which they were produced. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation On this ground it is by far safer in the present state of our knowledge, to accept bud-variations only as direct proofs of true atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Many instances of so-called atavism are of purely morphologic nature. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Taking into consideration the relatively numerous restrictions resulting from this discussion, we will now make a hasty survey of some of the more notable and generally acknowledged cases of atavism by bud-propagation. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation If it proves to be real atavism and rare, the case should be accurately described and figured, or photographed if possible; and the exact position of the reverting bud should be ascertained. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation No clear conception as to its true nature had been formulated, and even the propriety of designating the observed phenomena by the term atavism seemed doubtful. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation The atavism may be complete in one case, but more or less incomplete in others. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation For this reason atavism in nurseries causes much care and labor, and consequently is to be dealt with as a very important factor. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation If the breeders' atavism is due to crosses, and only to this cause, it has no bearing at all on the question of the constancy of varieties. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Used in this way, this term has the same bearing as the word atavism of the breeders, but it has the advantage of indicating the true cause thereof. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation For this reason I have taken much trouble in ascertaining the circumstances which attend this form of atavism. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation The examples given may suffice to convey a general idea of the phenomenon, ordinarily called atavism by gardeners, and considered mostly to be the effect of some innate tendency to revert to the ancestral form. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Such instances of atavism have been described in previous lectures, and their existence has been proved beyond doubt. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation These are true atavism, incomplete loss of characters, and systematic affinity. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation |
