Allan Wilson

Allan Wilson was a prominent biologist and biophysicist known for his groundbreaking work in molecular evolution and genetics. He played a pivotal role in using DNA analysis to trace the evolutionary history of species, including humans. Wilson's research helped illuminate how genetic differences reflect evolutionary relationships, contributing significantly to our understanding of biodiversity and human origins. His innovative techniques and insights advanced the fields of molecular biology and anthropology, allowing scientists to better understand the genetic variations that shape life on Earth. Wilson’s work has had lasting implications for medicine, conservation, and evolutionary studies.
