About Edmund Beecher Wilson

Edmund Beecher Wilson (October 19, 1856 – March 3, 1939) was a pioneering American zoologist and geneticist. He wrote one of the most influential textbooks in modern biology, The Cell.

Nettie Stevens independently made the same discovery the same year and published shortly thereafter.
