History of the Modern Theory of Evolution

1937

Theodosius Dobzhansky

He research focused on how new species rise through the genetic differences in isolated populations.His work influenced the synthesis of genetics and evolutionary biology, providing a framework for understanding large-scale evolutionary patterns.

1865

Gregor Mendel

Mendel's work with pea plants established the fundamental laws of inheritance, showing the nature of hereditary traits.He discovered the principles of dominant and recessive traits, laying the foundation for our understanding of genetic inheritance.

1866

Thomas Hunt Morgan

Mutation and inheritance: Morgan's work with fruit flies (Drosophila) contributed to understanding the role of mutations in genetic variation. His research demonstrated how genes are responsible for unique traits and how they can mutate.

Charles DarwinAlfred Wallace

1831-1836: Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle, leading to observations crucial to the development of his theory of evolution.1859: Publication of "On the Origin of Species," introducing the concept of natural selection. 1823-1913: Alfred Russel Wallace

1920s-1930s: Fisher and Haldane contribute mathematical models to understand the impact of natural selection on large populations.Wright's studies focus on genetic drift and its effects on smaller, isolated populations.
