In 1876 he suggested an See also:hypothesis in explanation of See also:heredity, resembling the germ-plasm theory subsequently elaborated by See also:August See also:Weismann, to the effect that the germinal See also:protoplasm retains its specific properties from See also:generation to generation, dividing in each re-See also:production into an ontogenetic portion, out of which the individual is built up, and a phylogenetic portion, which is reserved to See also:form the reproductive material of the mature off-See also:spring . In Die Normalkleidung als Gesundheitsschutz (188o) he advocated the See also:system of clothing associated with his name, objecting especially to the use of any See also:kind of See also:vegetable fibre for clothes . |
