1889 E. B. Poulton et al. tr. A. Weismann Ess. Heredity vii. 412 ‘Acquired characters’..we might also call..‘somatogenic’..; while all other characters might be contrasted as ‘blastogenic’, because they include all those characters in the body which have arisen from changes in the germ.
1889 E. B. Poulton et al. tr. A. Weismann Ess. Heredity vii. 413 Among the blastogenic characters, we include not only all the changes produced by natural selection operating upon variations in the germ, but all other characters which result from this latter cause.
