The Correlation between Relatives on the Supposition of Mendelian Inheritance
The Correlation between Relatives on the Supposition of Mendelian Inheritance is a scientific paper by British statistician and geneticist Ronald Fisher which was published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1918, marking a significant milestone in genetics. In this study, Fisher integrated Mendel's principles of inheritance with statistical techniques to clarify how characteristics could manifest as both continuous (such as height or weight) and still be regulated by distinct genetic factors.
