"Provine's thorough and thoroughly admirable examination of Wright's life and influence, which is accompanied by a very useful collection of Wright's papers on evolution, is the best we have for any recent figure in evolutionary biology."--Joe Felsenstein, "Nature" "In "Sewall Wright and Evolutionary Biology" . . .

Provine is admirably suited to his task. . . .
