If Spencer had begun by putting to himself the question of the Hereditability of acquired characters, his evolutionism would no doubt have taken an altogether different form.
"Creative Evolution"
Henri Bergson
It is like the Hereditability of the alcoholic taint: it passes from father to children, but it may take a different form in each child, and in none of them be like what it was in the father.
"Creative Evolution"
Henri Bergson
We should propose, then, to introduce a distinction between the Hereditability of deviation and that of character.
