Le biologiste britannique John Burdon Sanderson Haldane (1892-1964) est un personnage fascinant. Durant sa vie, il a notamment participé au développement de la biochimie, contribué de manière décisive à la fondation de la génétique des populations, pris position dans les débats sur l'eugénisme et dans l'affaire Lyssenko, été l'un des pionniers de la popularisation des sciences, écrit des centaines d'articles et tenu des dizaines de conférences pour le grand public, rédigé des textes d'anticipation qui ont contribué à la fondation du genre littéraire de la science-fiction, inventé les termes d'ectogénèse et de clonage, créé plusieurs scandales dans le milieu universitaire, participé aux deux guerres mondiales – dont directement à la première comme combattant – ainsi qu'à la guerre civile espagnole, milité dans le Parti communiste de Grande-Bretagne, fondé un institut de recherche en génétique en Inde. Et cet inventaire n'est pas exhaustif, au point qu'il est parfois difficile de croire que l'ensemble des activités qui lui sont attribuées ont bel et bien été effectuées par le même homme.

Haldane, Mayr, and Beanbag Genetics presents a summary of the classic exchange between two great biologists - J.B.S. Haldane and Ernst Mayr - regarding the value of the contributions of the mathematical school represented by J.B.S. Haldane, R.A. Fisher and S. Wright to the theory of evolution. Their pioneering contributions from 1918 to the 1960s dominated and shaped the field of population genetics, unique in the annals of science. In 1959, Mayr questioned what he regarded as the beanbag genetic approach of these pioneers to evolutionary theory, ""an input or output of genes, as the adding of

This book was originally conceived at a conference at the University of Turin in Italy. The conference was organized to examine the so-called “Malaria Hypothesis”, that is to say, the higher fitness of t- lassemia heterozygotes in a malarial environment, and to pay tribute to the proponent of that hypothesis, J.B.S. Haldane. Contributors to this book examine certain genetic and evolutionary aspects of malaria which is a major killer of human populations, especially in Africa and Asia. There were attempts to discredit Haldane’s contribution from two directions: (a) it has been suggested that the “Malaria Hypothesis” was known long before Haldane and that there was nothing original about his idea (Lederberg 1999), and that (b) the hypothesis of heterozygote su- riority was first suggested by the Italian biologist Giuseppe Montalenti who communicated his idea to Haldane (Allison 2004). Surely, both c- not be right. In fact, the evidence presented in this book clearly indicates that both are wrong. Haldane’s malaria hypothesis has stimulated a great deal of research on the genetic, evolutionary and epidemiological aspects of malaria d- ing the last 50 years. It has opened up a whole new chapter in the study of infectious diseases. It deserves serious consideration. For helpful discussions we thank Lucio Luzzatto, Alberto Piazza, Guido Modiano and David Roberts.
