Sergei Sergeevich Chetverikov (Сергей Сергеевич Четвериков, 1880-1959) was one of founders of genetics in natural populations and hence a contributor to the synthetic theory of evolution. Events 1527 - Spanish and German troops sack Rome; some consider this the end of the Renaissance.

Some of his ideas have stood the test of time, and some have not: he was generally right about mutation and the importance of natural selection, but wrong about polymorphism (see polymorphism (biology). Polymorphism in biology occurs when two or more clearly different Phenotypes exist in the same population of a species — in other words the occurrence of more than one However, to have entered this field at all at that time was noteworthy.
Between the two World Wars Russian biological research managed to connect genetics with field research on natural populations. Chetverikov lead a team at the Koltsov Institute in Moscow, and in 1926 produced what should have been one of the landmark papers of the modern evolutionary synthesis. However, published only in Russian, it was largely ignored in the English-speaking world (though J.B.S. Haldane possessed a translation). John Burdon Sanderson Haldane FRS ( 5 November 1892 &ndash 1 December 1964) known as Jack (but who used 'J Chetverikov influenced several Russian geneticists who later came to work in the West, such as Theodosius Dobzhansky and Timofeev-Ressovsky, both of whom continued to work in a similar style. Theodosius Grygorovych Dobzhansky, also known Nikolaj Vladimirovich Timofeev-Resovskij (Николай Владимирович Тимофеев-Ресовский &mdash March 28 1981) was a Soviet The significance of Chetverikov's work came to light much later, by which time the evolutionary synthesis was virtually complete.

Sergei Chetverikov worked at Nikolai Koltsov Institute of Experimental Biology. Nikolai Konstantinovich Koltsov (Николай Константинович Кольцов July 14 1872 &ndash December 2 1940) was a Russian He was arrested by OGPU in 1929 and sent to exile to Yekaterinburg for five years. The State Political Directorate was the Secret police of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic ( RSFSR) and the Soviet Union from 1922 until Yekaterinburg (Екатеринбу́рг also romanized Ekaterinburg, formerly Sverdlovsk) is a major city in the central part of Russia He later moved to Nizhny Novgorod and organized the Department of Genetics at Gorky University. Nizhny Novgorod (Ни́жний Но́вгород Nižnij Novgorod) colloquially shortened as Nizhny, is the fourth largest city in Russia He was dismissed from his post at the behest of Lysenko in 1948 [3]. Lysenko may refer to Mykola Lysenko (Ukrainian composer Tatyana Lysenko (Russian hammer thrower Trofim Lysenko
