Description:
The binding is in excellent condition. The text block is excellent - solid, unmarked, with no foxing. All text pages and colour plates in very good condition. A light library reference mark is on the spine. The front flyleaf has library stamps and a roughly horizonal tear more than half way across. See my many photographs.
Fisher made enormous contributions to the mathematics of statistics. He was also convinced that Darwin's theory of evolution by the accumulation of small changes over eons was correct. In the first part of this book he shows that Bateson's idea of speciation by large genetic jumps is hugely improbable.
A mathematical milestone in the study of genetics and a classic in evolution theory.
