...controlling various body characteristics have been traced in Drosophila melanogaster, the scientifically celebrated little fruit fly. It is by changes in these genes that evolution of different types of organisms takes place. But last week Dr. Millislav Demerec of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Genetics announced his opinion- based on careful research-that chromosomes contain one gene, which, by affecting all the genes, speeds up the rate of evolutionary change. It may be due to this single "pacemaker" gene that the evolution of higher organisms has required only hundreds of millions of years instead of billions...
...Riddle's opinion, the higher vertebrates have a dual control system, the brain and the pituitary. That they are closely associated is shown by the ability of prolactin to produce a psychological phenomenon, maternal behavior. How hormones work on the brain and nervous system remains a stubborn mystery.

The consciousness of dog and man has evolved . . . in the same unbroken way that the function...
After three decades of research on the heredity mechanism of the genes and chromosomes he has a strong opinion on the first thing that biology should teach humanity: "All men are created unequal.
