Hugh H. F. G. Waddington

Hugh H. F. G. Waddington was a British scientist known for his work in genetics and developmental biology. He made significant contributions to understanding how genes control the development of organisms, especially in insects like fruit flies. His research helped illuminate the genetic mechanisms that guide growth, development, and evolution. Waddington was also a pioneer in studying how environment influences genetic traits and in developing concepts like genetic networks. His work has had a lasting impact on biology, genetics, and related fields, advancing our understanding of how genes and environment interact to shape living organisms.
