John Burdon Sanderson Haldane FRS, known affectionately as JBS, was a British-Indian scientist renowned for his contributions to physiology, genetics, evolutionary biology, and mathematics. His pioneering use of statistics in biology played a crucial role in shaping the foundation of neo-Darwinism. Notably, in 1929, Haldane presented a significant hypothesis concerning the origin of life on Earth, representing a remarkable and emblematic achievement of the interwar era. His scenario depicted the gradual evolution of matter on the early Earth, leading to the emergence of life.
