"De L’ImprÃ(c)gnation De La Mère (TÃ(c)lÃ(c)gonie) D’Après Les DonnÃ(c)es Actuelles De La Zootechnie" explores the concept of telegony, the purported influence of a previous sire on subsequent offspring of the same dam, through the lens of early 20th-century zootechny. Camille Cousin examines the then-current understanding of animal breeding and heredity, presenting arguments and evidence related to maternal impression and the potential for genetic influence beyond immediate parentage.
This work offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of scientific thought surrounding heredity and reproduction. It highlights now-outdated theories and methodologies used in zoological studies of the era. Readers interested in the history of science, the evolution of genetics, and the social context of scientific inquiry will find Cousin’s exploration of telegony insightful.
