Weismann advocated the germ plasm theory, stating that a multicellular organism consists of germ cells that pass on hereditary information, and somatic cells that perform body functions. The germ cells are not affected by anything the body learns or any ability it acquires duri ...

The Treaty of 1884 went on to maintain that the alterations had to result from such gradual natural causes. This provision followed the long-established doctrine of international law that when chang ...

In 1910 Mexico and the United States agreed on rules of arbitration to settle the dispute, and tribunal was established to investigate and deliberate over whether the change in the river's course had been gradual, whether the boundaries set by treaties were fixed, and whether the 1884 treaty applied.
