No Practical Biologist Interested In Sexual Reproduction Would Be Led To Work Out The Detailed Consequences Experienced By Organisms Having Three Or More Sexes; Yet What Else Should He Do If He Wishes To Understand Why The Sexes Are, In Fact, Always Two?

To Consult The Statistician After An Experiment Is Finished Is Often Merely To Ask Him To Conduct A Post Mortem Examination. He Can Perhaps Say What The Experiment Died Of.

The So-called Co-efficient Of Heritability, Which I Regard As One Of Those Unfortunate Short-cuts, Which Have Often Emerged In Biometry For Lack Of A More Thorough Analysis Of The Data.

I Believe Sanity And Realism Can Be Restored To The Teaching Of Mathematical Statistics Most Easily And Directly By Entrusting Such Teaching Largely To Men And Women Who Have Had Personal Experience Of Research In The Natural Sciences.
