Essay about Modern Evolutionary Synthesis

This can be explained in simple words that, it is a mixture or fusion of Mendelian genetics with Darwinian evolution then in result a new theory has been formed named as unified Theory of evolution. This theory also referred to the Neo-Darwinian theory. This theory was developed by number of evolutionary scientists in the era of 1930 and 1940.

There are many key scientists that played a major role in the modern evolutionary synthesis.  R.A fisher and Sewall Wright was involved in making theory about population genetics. Theodosius Dobzhansky was involved in deep studies about the natural population of fruity Drosophilia. The major role played in this theory by R.A fisher. He lived in England and started working on population genetics in London.  His contribution in the field of evolution was natural selection about the population genetics. He worked on the linkage of genes that has been taken from different traits and then according to their genes he had developed different methods of multivariate analysis for dealing with these type of questions. He started to prove his theory by designing plant breeding experiments. Through this he had got much information about the plants breeding in less number of time (Huneman & Walsh, 2017).
