Sewall Wright

From EvoWiki

Sewall Green Wright (1889-1988) was a population geneticist and one of the principle architects of modern evolutionary biology.

His publications, which spanned more than 70 years, helped pioneer path analysis, gave valuable insights into the genetics of inbreeding (perhaps, as one his former students suggested, because his own parents were first cousins), and, for the first time, explained populations as a part of local ecosystems, tying the organism with its environment.
