Popis: In this winner of the Cheiron Book Prize, Ted Porter returns to the theme of his classic works—"The Rise of Statistical Thinking" (Princeton University Press, 1986) and "Trust in Numbers" (Princeton University Press, 1995)—to trace the human side of the numbers that became the basis for modern population genetics. And he locates them, unexpectedly, in the pre-history of the psy-disciplines.
