Answer

Theodosius Dobzhansky's groundbreaking work, Genetics and the Origin of Species, was published in 1937. The book argued that natural selection is the primary mechanism of evolution and that genetic variation is the raw material on which natural selection acts. Dobzhansky's work helped to establish the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory, which combines Darwin's theory of natural selection with Mendelian genetics.
