Synopsis

Excerpt from Introduction to Quantitative Genetics

Many people have helped me in various ways, to all of Whom I should like to express my thanks. I am greatly indebted to Professor C. H. Waddington for his encouragement and for the facilities that I have enjoyed in his laboratory. It is no exaggeration to say that With out Dr Alan Robertson's help this book could not have been written. Not only has his reading of the manuscript led to the elimination of many errors, but I have been greatly assisted in my understanding of the subject, particularly its more mathematical aspects, by frequent discussions With him. Dr R. C. Roberts read the Whole manuscript With great care and his valuable suggestions led to many improve ments being made. Parts of the manuscript were read also by Dr N. Bateman, Dr J. C. Bowman, Dr D. G. Gilmour, Dr J. H. Sang, and my Wife, to all of Whom I am grateful for advice. I owe much also to the Honours and Diploma students of Animal Genetics in Edinburgh between 1951 and 1957, Whose questions led to improve ments of presentation at many points. Despite all the help I have received, many imperfections remain and there can hardly fail to be some errors that have escaped detection the responsibility for all of these is entirely mine. To Mr E. D. Roberts I am indebted for drawing all the graphs and diagrams, and I greatly appreciate the care and skill with Which he has drawn them. I am indebted also to the Director and Staff of the Commonwealth Bureau of Animal Breeding for assistance With the preparation of the list of references.
