To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You do not find that the male follows the precise type of the maleparent, nor does the female always inherit the precise characteristicsof the mother, --there is always a proportion of the female character inthe male offspring, and of the male character in the female offspring. That must be quite plain to all of you who have looked at allattentively on your own children or those of your neighbours; you willhave noticed how very often it may happen that the son shall exhibit thematernal type of ...character, or the daughter possess the characteristicsof the father's family. There are all sorts of intermixtures andintermediate conditions between the two, where complexion, or beauty, or fifty other different peculiarities belonging to either side of thehouse, are reproduced in other members of the same family. Indeed, itis sometimes to be remarked in this kind of variation, that the varietybelongs, strictly speaking, to neither of the immediate parents; youwill see a child in a family who is not like either its father or itsmother; but some old person who knew its grandfather or grandmother, or, it may be, an uncle, or, perhaps, even a more distant relative, will seea great similarity between the child and one of these.
