I have just received word that Sewall Wright is dead at age 99. He broke his hip while walking and never recovered. Sewall Wright was one of the greats in population genetics and evolution, contributing in MANY areas. The debates between Wright and Fisher in the 1920's and 1930's helped to form a discipline. -- Ted H. Emigh, Dept.
