Evolution By Means Of Hybridization is a scientific book written by Johannes P. Lotsy and first published in 1916. The book explores the process of evolution through hybridization, which is the crossing of two different species or varieties to create a new hybrid. Lotsy argues that hybridization is an important mechanism in the process of evolution, and he provides numerous examples of hybridization in plants and animals.The book is divided into three main parts. The first part provides a general overview of hybridization, including its history, the different types of hybrids, and the advantages and disadvantages of hybridization. The second part focuses on plant hybridization, and Lotsy describes the different methods of hybridization, the characteristics of hybrid plants, and the role of hybridization in plant evolution.The third part of the book is devoted to animal hybridization. Lotsy discusses the characteristics of hybrid animals, the factors that influence hybridization, and the role of hybridization in animal evolution. He also provides examples of hybridization in different animal groups, including birds, mammals, and fish.Overall, Evolution By Means Of Hybridization is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the role of hybridization in the process of evolution. The book is written in a scientific and technical language, and it is aimed at researchers, scientists, and students of evolutionary biology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
