TL;DR: This chapter presents the genetics of human population, which discusses three types of characters— namely: hereditary characters in the limited sense; characters due to the environment; and characters depending both on heredity, environment, and constellational.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter presents the genetics of human population. The primary point of departure in experimental genetics is to study the hereditary factors that determine certain characters. The chapter discusses three types of characters— namely: (1) hereditary characters in the limited sense; (2) characters due to the environment; and (3) characters depending both on heredity, environment, and constellational. There is also the fact that characters may emerge at different ages. The nature of the population determines to some extent the type under which a character is to be classified. To illustrate this, the chapter discusses a character normally contingent on both heredity and environment– that is, to say a constellational character where the hereditary factors necessary for its occurrence are found only in a part of the population, and where the same is true of the environmental factor or factors that are similarly necessary. In a population where the necessary environmental factor is present in practically all individuals, the character will be determined by heredity; conversely, in a population where the hereditary factor is present in practically everyone the character will be determined by the environment.

TL;DR: This work presents a method for animating characters automatically, given a static character mesh and a generic skeleton, that adapts the skeleton to the character and attaches it to the surface, allowing skeletal motion data to animate the character.
Abstract: Animating an articulated 3D character currently requires manual rigging to specify its internal skeletal structure and to define how the input motion deforms its surface. We present a method for animating characters automatically. Given a static character mesh and a generic skeleton, our method adapts the skeleton to the character and attaches it to the surface, allowing skeletal motion data to animate the character. Because a single skeleton can be used with a wide range of characters, our method, in conjunction with a library of motions for a few skeletons, enables a user-friendly animation system for novices and children. Our prototype implementation, called Pinocchio, typically takes under a minute to rig a character on a modern midrange PC.
