Definitions

1. The Modern Synthesis (MS) is the current paradigm in evolutionary biology. (Web site)

Evolutionary Synthesis

1. The modern evolutionary synthesis is also referred to as the new synthesis, the modern synthesis, the evolutionary synthesis and the neo-darwinian synthesis. (Web site)

Scientific Theory

1. The modern synthesis, like its Mendelian and Darwinian antecedents, is a scientific theory. (Web site)

Evolutionary Theory

1. But Crampton also predicted arguably the most important development in evolutionary theory since the modern synthesis. (Web site)

Biologists

1. In the 1940s, however, biologists incorporated Gregor Mendel 's principles of genetics to explain both, resulting in the modern synthesis.

Fact

1. In this same sense evolution is an observed fact and the modern synthesis is currently the most powerful theory explaining evolution.

Allele

1. In the modern synthesis, "evolution" means a change in the frequency of an allele within a gene pool. (Web site)

Systems Biology

1. Traversing the conceptual divide between biological and statistical epistasis: systems biology and a more modern synthesis.

Biology

1. Contemporary researchers such as Sherwood Washburn and Ashley Montagu were heavily influenced by the modern synthesis in biology and population genetics.

Genetics

1. In fact, the union of molecular biology, genetics and natural selection (Darwinism) lead to what is known as the Modern Synthesis.
2. In this volume the thinkers responsible for the "modern synthesis" of evolutionary biology and genetics come together to analyze that remarkable event. (Web site)

Ronald Fisher

1. Ronald Fisher in 1918 used Mendelian genetics as the basis of the start of the modern synthesis in evolutionary biology. (Web site)

Evolution

1. Stimulated by much new work on the theory of natural selection, Huxley also wrote Evolution: The Modern Synthesis (1942). (Web site)
2. The modern synthesis describes evolution as a change in the frequency of alleles within a population from one generation to the next.

Julian Huxley

1. Julian Huxley invented the term, when he produced his book, Evolution: The Modern Synthesis (1942). (Web site)

Modern Synthesis

1. An example of evolution as theory is the modern synthesis of Darwin and Wallace's theory of natural selection and Mendel's principles of genetics.
2. Genetic drift was embraced as an additional mechanism of evolutionary development in the modern synthesis of the theory. (Web site)
