Fisher Statistics Biography

Ronald Eilmer Fisher was born in a suburb of London on February 17 and gained worldwide fame thanks to his work in the field of statistics. As the well -known English scientist John Tyuki wrote at one time, the most interesting thing in the work of statistics is that you can play in any garden. Ronald Fisher - a genius of statistics or a supporter of Darwin's theory?

In medicine and psychology, economics and engineering, they are used in the operation of computers postal filters, observations of star clusters, in the analysis of various incidents and tax fraud. It is worth noting here that the spread of statistics in the world has largely occurred thanks to the activity of Fisher. Today we live in the world of statistics, where the map in which our globalized world is transformed to unexpected limits of indistinguishable from reality.

But the author of this article did not set a goal for the reader’s detailed journey to the world of statistics, a description of various statistical methods using formulas requiring solid mathematical training, but wanted to talk about a completely different topic in the scientific activity of Fisher, which primarily concerns such an object as biological evolution.

Darwinism would forever remain in oblivion, and the synthetic theory of evolution would have been needed for many decades for becoming, if not for the information that Fisher cited in his work of the “genetic theory of natural selection” that the discovery of Gregor Mendel, which he made when crossing plants that certain signs were transmitted to the offspring or change, being adopted by what separate Units or particles that he called the factors, and today we call genes, forever left Darwin's theory with its natural selection in the landfill of history.

Indeed, after the death of Darwin, a “eclipse of Darwinism” was observed in the year. Thanks to the rapid development of the Mendeleeval theory of inheritance, evolutionary biology was in a state of cruel crisis, or even simply at a dead end. However, in the years, the revival of interest in the theory of Darwin begins, thanks to the brilliant works of Fisher. And then Fisher said that natural selection is a process by which an unlikely event, a mutation, over time increases its probability.

Thus, natural selection remained the main engine of evolution, this proved the correctness of Darwin and returned Darwinism to life, which the supporters of Mendel actively resisted, and population genetics gave the mathematical harmony of the theory of evolution. Gregor Johann Mendel photo: ru.

Fisher died in Australia on July 29 in the year, as a respected researcher. The arrival of prisoners in the concentration camp Auschwitz. The first stage of the selection photo: Waralbum. They gained especially widespread in Hitler Germany. The new Aryan race was created by the destruction of weak members of the society of disabled people, cripples, tramps .... The experiments ended with a complete failure, since the intellectual indicators of the new healthy race were lower than the average value, and their inhumanity was condemned by the entire world community in the year.
