=Ronald Fisher (1890-1962)= Ronald Fisher (1890-1962) Ronald Fisher was a dedicated English Mathematician who lived from 1890 - 1962. He contributed greatly to the explanation of Darwin's Theory concerning the process of Natural Selection, and is also commemorated for his breakthrough in the application of statistical research for science experiments while he was at work as a statistician and a geneticist. During his life he attended Cambridge University where he received his Bachelors in astronomy in 1912, and taught high school mathematics and physics from 1914 to 1919. He continued to study statistics and genetics, and was established as Galton Professor of Eugenics at University College in London in 1933 and later Balfour Professor of Genetics at Cambridge University in 1943. (Encyclopedia Britanica: //Sir Ronald FIsher).// Ronald Fisher's most significant contribution to the Evolution Theory is found in updates in Modern Evolutionary Synthesis. According to Darwin's Theory of Evolution, the process of Natural Selection is what pushes the movement to exist. Along with J.B.S. Haldane and Sewall Wright, Ronald Fisher helped found the field of Genetic study. (Charles Darwin and Evolution: //the Modern Synthesis//). He introduced the idea of randomization and repeating steps in an experiment multiple times in order to have more accurate data. He also created ANOVA (variance analysis) which includes different types of tests that can be carried out to determine differences in variables in groups. This contributes to evolution through recording occurences in progress in experiments and deciding which particulat methods are more efficient. -Jayme
