“The proof given by Wright, that non-adaptive differentiation will occur in small populations owing to "drift," or the chance fixation of some new mutation or recombination, is one of the most important results of mathematical analysis applied to the facts of neo-mendelism.

As soon as one makes faith even in the least a requirement for justification, one takes from such a person all the comfort of the Gospel.”
