'THE RENAISSANCE OF DARWINISM'

on Third Programme

View in Radio Times

Professor R. A. Fisher , F.R.S., on the revival of a scientific theory
The early twentieth-century view of Darwin has been radically modified by the work of recent geneticists. The application of mathematics to the theory of genetics has reinstated Darwin in the most remarkable and almost literal fashion. The theory of natural selection and the work of Abbe Mendel have been vindicated to a startling degree, perhaps not in the terms in which they were originally propounded, but in such a way as to re-establish Darwin and Mendel as the lineal fathers of modern scientific work in the field of genetics
