Could someone make a disambiguation page for "Bateson", and reference both this article and Gregory Bateson on it? At the moment "Bateson" redirects here, and I imagine most people are looking for Gregory, not William...
[edit] William Bateson and other Batesons
The biography of William Bateson refers to "a personal letter to Adam Sedgwick, dated April 18, 1905" and the link is to the geologist Adam Sedgwick who died in 1873. Is this a mistaken link, or is there some other mistake - William Bateson was only about twelve when Adam Sedgwick died.
- Interesting point. A net search shows two references to "Alan Sedgwick" [1] but both references also refer to the person as Adam. Seems everyone is confused. Outriggr 00:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
With respect to disambiguation, if we are to have a disambiguation page for the various Batesons, we should also include Patrick Bateson, also known as: Sir (Paul) Patrick (Gordon) BATESON.

[edit] Question
Can someone explain how the first public use of the word "genetics" could have happened at the "Third International Conference on GENETICS?" What did they talk about at the First Conference on Genetics?!? It took three years to notice that cool word in the conference title? :-) Sounds like a great Monty Python bit.
