The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection

Rating:
Summary: The Mathematics of Neo-Darwinism
Review: I don't understand why I am the first reviewer of this book. I am not worthy, but I will try. R. A. Fisher was a mathematical genius that founded the modern treatments of statistics.

In this book he rescued Darwinism: the modern theory of Natural Selection was first derived in this book. It is a Classic on Evolution, more important than Darwin's. All ideas about selfish genes, etc. are contained implicitly in this book, published in 1930. It just took years to work out the implications in words.

It is a very mathematical book, so most modern "Darwinists" can't understand it. If you work in any field related to Evolution, you really should have this book on your shelves, if only to show off!
