Today is Memorial Day (December 1, 1964) of scientific genius J.P.S. Haldane, who proved the genetic link between mammals.
John Burdon Sanderson Haldane was born in England on November 5, 1892. His father was John Scott Haldane. Holden of Mother Lucia Love. His father studied human respiration and discovered that the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood determines the speed of respiration. “Our current education system does not do justice to children. Because they are not given the opportunity they deserve. In practice, scientific facts are not taught to students from a humanistic perspective. Science teaching should not begin with objects that are immobile or moving smoothly. We have to keep the human body and teach science from the age of three, Haldane said of the education system at the time.
When Haldane was a boy, his father received elementary science training by helping him in the lab. “I learned science from the age of eight when I was a trainer in his lab to help my father. My university degree is in literature; not for science. ” In school, he studied Chemistry, Physics, History, Biology etc. During his student days, he studied Latin, Greek and English literature. Haldane studied at Eden and New College in Oxford. At the age of 19, he joined Oxford University in 1911 as a mathematical lecturer.
Attended a seminar for students in zoology and announced their findings on the interrelationships between the genes of vertebrates. His first study in 1915 demonstrated the genetic link between mammals. As a result, Mendel's laws and Darwinian law of evolution combined to form the basis for modern evolution. In 1929 his article on eogenesis introduced the "primordial soup formula", which became the basis for creating the chemical appearance of the living environment. Holman developed human cell maps of haemophilia and colour blindness. Halton's rules influence biological coagulation, sterile residue, and hybridization.
He correctly proposed some vaccines for malaria. He was also the first to suggest concepts such as external testing and abortion transcription. This was done after he wanted to donate his body to a medical examiner. He volunteered for World War I in 1914 and served in the Black Guard. After World War II, he returned to his hometown of Oxford, where he studied physiology and genetics at the New College from 1919 to 1922. Later, he went to the University of Cambridge and worked as an adjunct professor at Trinity College. He also wrote important essays on the study of enzymes and genetics. They were later published in 1927 under the title Possible World.
Haldane's scientific contributions were in three distinct fields: biochemistry, physiology, and genetics. He explored various characteristic features of human body dialectics. Another important contribution of Halton was his work as editor of the journal 'Genetics'. Haldane left University College London in 1956 and settled in India. The reason he left the UK was to declare that "I renounce my UK citizenship because I cannot accept the decision taken by the UK over the Suez Canal crisis." At that time, Jawaharlal Nehru, who was the Prime Minister of India, came to India at his invitation.
Haldane first joined the Indian Statistical Institute at the Indian Institute of Statistics in Kolkata and headed the Department of Biometrics. There he focused on anthropology, human genetics and botanical studies. Then in 1961, he joined the newly started Biochemistry Institute in Odisha. India recognized Haldane as an Indian citizen in 1961 and granted him citizenship. Haldane was elected a member of the Royal Society in 1932. He was awarded the 1952 Darwin Medal by the Royal Society in recognition of initiating the study of the differences in the appearance of the current population. The Huxi Memorial Medal was awarded in 1956 by the State Anthropological Institute.
Awarded the prestigious ‘Darwin Wallace Medal’ by the Linnaean Society of London. Other prizes he received include the 'Belti Nelly Prize' in 1961, the 'Doctor of Science' degree, the 'Kimbler Prize' from the United Nations National Academy of Sciences, the French government's 1937 'French Honor', the University of Oxford. He received prizes, medals and accolades from the Society's 'Weldon Memorial Prize'. Haldane served as president of the Genetics Society from 1932 to 1934. He chaired the London edition of the Daily Worker, a communist magazine. He was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain from 1942 to 1956.
'Marxist Philosophy and Science', 'Protection from Chemical Weapons', 'The Last Judgment, 'Animal Biology', 'The Beginning of Biology', 'Science and Science', 'Enzyme', 'Reasons for Dimension', 'Truth and Belief', 'Science and Humanity' He has authored more than twenty books, including "Science and You", "Generation and Science", "The New Path in Genetics", "Peace and War", "Scientific Advancement", and "What is Life". Haldane stressed that scientists must explain the development of science and the principles of science to the general public. Scientific genius J.P.S., who proved the genetic link between mammals. Haldane passed away on December 1, 1964, at the age of 72 in Bhubaneswar. At his request, his body was donated for the use of students of Irangaraya Medical College in Kakinada. Haldane experimented with anything and was able to express himself freely and boldly, to be an equal to women and lay people, and to be a commonwealth thinker. He lived his lifelong goal of helping others.
