For the twelfth edition of this classic textbook, the whole text has been reviewed and revised to take into account new developments in the study and teaching of anatomy. Chapters on the central nervous system, digestive system, and respiratory system have been almost entirely rewritten. A completely new feature is the addition of an atlas of anatomical structure using radiographs and tomographs (CT scans).

Focusing on the concept of germ-plasm continuity introduced by August Weismann, this work critically examines his theories on heredity and evolution. Romanes explores the distinctions between somatic and germ cells, the role of genetic determinants, and the implications for evolutionary processes. Through detailed analysis and scholarly discourse, he identifies areas of agreement and contention within the scientific community. This comprehensive study significantly contributes to the understanding of late 19th-century evolutionary biology and the complexities of inheritance.
