DESCRIPTION:R. A. Fisher’s 'The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection (1
 930)' is among the most celebrated and influential works in modern evoluti
 onary thought. Its final five chapters on eugenics\, meanwhile\, are notor
 ious. This talk takes a long view\, following the book through its writing
 \, publication\, reception\, and longer legacies. In particular\, I’ll a
 sk how author and readers understood and negotiated the relationship betwe
 en the book’s ‘scientific’ and ‘eugenical’ halves. \n\nFor furth
