F. D. M. Haldane

F. D. M. Haldane was a pioneering British scientist who made foundational contributions to the field of genetics and evolutionary biology. He helped develop the modern understanding of how genetic variation and mutation drive evolution, emphasizing the role of genes in adapting species to their environments. Haldane also contributed to the understanding of population genetics through mathematical models that explain how gene frequencies change over time. His work laid the groundwork for how scientists study evolution at a genetic level, blending biology and mathematics to deepen our understanding of life's diversity and change.
