Page "Population genetics" Paragraph 37

The work of Fisher, Haldane and Wright founded the discipline of population genetics.

This integrated natural selection with Mendelian genetics, which was the critical first step in developing a unified theory of how evolution worked.

John Maynard Smith was Haldane's pupil, whilst W. D.

Hamilton was heavily influenced by the writings of Fisher.

The American George R. Price worked with both Hamilton and Maynard Smith.

American Richard Lewontin and Japanese Motoo Kimura were heavily influenced by Wright.
