Georges Teissier
Georges Teissier (19 February 1900 – 7 January 1972) was a mathematical biologist who contributed to the modern synthesis with quantitative methods. Along with Philippe L'Heritier he developed methods of studying ''Drosophila'' genetics in what are known as population cages. They established a French school of population genetics that was largely unknown outside. Teissier was born in Paris where his parents were schoolteachers with a Calvinist upbringing. Growing up with an interest in natural history, he studied mathematics at the École Normale Supérieure from 1919. He took an interest in marine biology, studying Cnidaria. He examined anisotropy and polarity in early development. In 1927 he examined the mathematics of animal growth and developed biometric methods. His dissertation in 1931 was on the development of ''Tenebrio molitor'' and ''Galleria mellonella'' in which he described allometric growth using log-transformed growth curves. He also developed methods of correlatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
