Cavalli-Sforza, he started his career in Italy working on statistical methods for evolutionary trees, after studying the sex ratio at birth, a problem previously attacked by C. Gini at the beginning of the 20th century. Some emerging themes from the interview are briefly highlighted and related to subsequent developments in statistical genetics and the role of statistics.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
