Fisher was one of the first to use recent advancements in heredity and genetics and Darwin and Wallace’s publications on Natural Selection as a driving force for evolution. In this study Fisher states that “Natural Selection is not Evolution” and proceeds to provide detailed analysis of the use of genetic analysis to better understand the process of change in organisms that contribute to Natural Selection and, therefore, Evolution.
