4 Abschnitte1 Karteikarten-Decks1 Quizze

A historical account of how, during the 1930s and 1940s, biologists reconciled Darwinian natural selection with Mendelian genetics -- an apparent conflict at the start of the twentieth century -- through the work of R. A. Fisher, J. B. S. Haldane, Sewall Wright, Theodosius Dobzhansky, and Ernst Mayr, producing the framework known as the Modern Synthesis that continues to underpin evolutionary biology.
