About this book

Studies in Spermatogenesis presents the research of Nettie Stevens (1861-1912), the American geneticist whose work on the mealworm established that chromosomes, the X and Y, determine whether an individual is male or female. Published by the Carnegie Institution, the studies are among the foundation papers of modern genetics, though Stevens long received less credit than her male contemporaries for the discovery. She came to science late and died early, but her chromosome work changed biology.

Nettie Stevens used exacting cytological experiments to help establish the chromosomal basis of whether an organism develops as male or female. After teaching for several years, she studied at Stanford and Bryn Mawr College, earning her doctorate in 1903 under Thomas Hunt Morgan.
