Abstract

Population genetics was founded by R. A. Fisher, J. B. S. Haldane and Sewall Wright. With the advancement of experimental techniques in genetics, it became possible to study molecular genetic variation among groups of individuals. J. F. Crow, Motoo Kimura and Masatoshi Nei provided the foundation of molecular evolution. In this article, I briefly describe some of the major scientific contributions of the three stalwarts of genetics. In my narrative, I also provide the historical context and impact of the contributions of Crow-Kimura-Nei.
