Muller was clearly supporting a kind of quasi-alchemical transmutational bridge between two powerful concepts in the realms of physics and of biology—an association clearly shared by many of his contemporaries. From early on, then, Muller was eager to associate the elements of heredity with radium and to transform the study of transmission genetics into the study of transmutation genetics. In 1918 he overtly compared the advances in genetics toward a “general theory of heredity” with those in radioactivity:
Just as the discovery of radium brought to prominence Recent popular books on the subject have, it is true, laid emphasis on “Mendel’s laws,” but we have now gone beyond and beneath this law, and into an analysis of the constitution and behavior of the germ hereditary material, in much the same way as the physicists, not long after the discovery of radium, went beyond a mere description of the startling properties of this substance to make the most remarkable progress in their electron theory of matter.14
