Talk:Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy. If you would like to participate, there are some suggestions on this page (see also Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ for more information) or visit WikiProject Evolutionary biology.

[edit] Edwards' genetics paper out of scope

In the list of references, Edwards' 2000 paper in Genetics is listed. This paper is a historical review with anecdotes of things that have happened in the population genetics community, and only shortly mentions the fundamental theorem. I think it is out of scope for this wikipedia entry, so it could be deleted because of lack of relevance. Anyone who thinks otherwise? --Anthony Liekens 00:46, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Quote

Why is the Edward's quote in the introduction? It is not really more modern terminology, and there is confusion about gene frequency (should be allele frequency) and genic variation. What does the Edwards' quote give us? Ted 15:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
