10 Questions
Who were the three scientists who pioneered the mathematical framework of the principles of Mendelian genetics and Evolution by natural selection?
R.A. Fisher, J.B.S. Haldane, and Sewall Wright
What were the main observations/principles on which Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection was based?
All modern species descended from common ancestors, offspring were more similar to their parents than to unrelated individuals, there was variation among individuals in a population, and some individuals with some phenotypes are more successful than others in survival and reproduction
What did Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection fail to demonstrate?
Inability to demonstrate that natural selection could explain all variation
