...unusual relationship between scientific theories that existed during this time makes the intellectual debate of this period particularly interesting. A survey of the entire history of scientific thought would probably show that most theories are either reduced, made simpler in format and broader in scope--or replaced, with another competing theory receiving wider acceptance. But important ideas are rarely "synthesized." Individual theories are rarely merged to answer a single program of interdisciplinary questions. But development in evolutionary and genetic throught from 1918 to 1947 provides an exception to this trend...
