1963
Macy Conference on Genetics
The Fifth Macy Conference on Genetics, held November 3-
6, 1963 at Princeton University, brought together several
well-known geneticists of that time period to discuss
important issues in population genetics. This conference took
place just before the emergence of the field of molecular
evolution. Attendees included: Walter Bodmer, James Crow,
Everett Dempster, Theodosius Dobzhansky, L.C. Dunn, Barry
Falconer, Dick Lewontin, Howard Levene, H.J. Muller, James
Neel, Bruce Wallace, and Jack Schull, among others. The format
of the conference was short individual presentations followed
by an informal free-for-all discussion. Fortunately, a stenographer
was present throughout the conference to preserve the interactions
of these scientists. We have posted the entire transcript,
dividing it up by sessions.
