Click on the edit button to draft your outline.

Now that you have compiled a bibliography, it’s time to plan out how you’ll improve your assigned article. In this section, write up a concise outline of how the sources you’ve identified will add relevant information to your chosen article. Be sure to discuss what content gap your additions tackle and how these additions will improve the article’s quality. Consider other changes you’ll make to the article, including possible deletions of irrelevant, outdated, or incorrect information, restructuring of the article to improve its readability or any other change you plan on making. This is your chance to really think about how your proposed additions will improve your chosen article and to vet your sources even further. Note: This is not a draft. This is an outline/plan where you can think about how the sources you’ve identified will fill in a content gap.

– Fisher’s journey to understanding population processes responsible for maintaining variation in quantitative traits using mathematical models. Using the models, he determined how natural selection and random fluctuations of population size influence genetic polymorphism in populations. His book had ideas about the significance of sexual reproduction and genetic recombination are so important.

– Fisher considers the natural changes, however, there isn’t a more detailed explanation of natural selection and evolution how genetics. To make it more understandable, they should mention the history of genetics and evolution. I think that they should combine both points, and in a “contents” section, it should talk about how Fisher used his knowledge in stats to understand how the population process is responsible for maintaining variation in quantitative traits.

– In detail, it would explain the models he used to determine his discoveries.

– The journal looks at Fisher’s discussion of eugenic policies in the final chapters of his book, The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection. Fisher’s book and his eugenics views are criticized by the journal for being controversial due to his class-based views, lack of support, and incorporation of eugenics into science. In order to give an accurate understanding of Fisher’s scientific achievements and controversy, this journal allows us to include a section on the criticism that Fisher’s book presently faces.

– Explains how Mendelian genetics validates Darwin’s theory of natural selection, which was not mentioned in the article.

– The secondary sources chosen for this page is to improve the article with more information if needed.

– Add an image of Fisher to show what he looks like.

1. Give more context on why Fisher wrote The Genetic Theory of Natural Selection
   • The publication date is already included but update some of the grammar.
   • Increase scholarly depth by including recent peer-reviewed sources
2. Explain where and how Fisher developed his ideas
   • Add some chronological order
