Allan C. Wilson (biologist)

Allan C. Wilson was a renowned biologist and geneticist known for his work in understanding human evolution. He played a key role in developing techniques to compare DNA from different species, which helped trace the genetic relationships among humans, chimpanzees, and other primates. Wilson’s research provided important insights into how humans evolved and diverged from our common ancestors with primates. His discoveries advanced the field of molecular anthropology, offering a genetic perspective on our evolutionary history and deepening scientific understanding of human origins.
