Abstract
Genetics is a framework which we are engaged in fitting into our understanding of life. This understanding has been built up from what are academically described as biology, medicine, and agriculture, anthropology and history. The framework is being built up by a variety of methods which are inherent, not so much in the variety of living things as in a variety of points of view.
