Journal of Medical Genetics, 1988, Vol 25, 561-564 ARTICLES Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (1698-1759) AE Emery Medical School, University of Edinburgh. Maupertuis was one of the most important scientists and original thinkers of the 18th century. He refuted the preformationist theories of the time, and from his study of the inheritance of genetic traits proposed various ideas which forecast the genetic theory of inheritance. He applied the concept of probability to genetic problems and introduced experimental breeding as a means of studying the inheritance of genetic traits in animals. However, he considered his greatest contribution to science to be

Pierre Louis Maupertuis and the trip to Tornio Pierre Louis de Maupertuis Pierre Louis de Maupertuis was born 28 September 1698 in Saint Malo, France. He was a French philosopher, mathematician and geodesist who became a member of the French Academy of Sciences in Paris in 1731. In 1732 he introduced Newton’s theory of gravitation to France. He was sent out to Lapland to determine, with as exact measurement as possible, the shape of the Earth at the poles. This trip took place between the years 1736 and 1737. Maupertuis gained fame for his expedition and he was invited to Germany by Frederick the Great. He became a member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences in 1741 and served as its president from 1745 to 1753. In 1744 he first enunciated the Principle of the Least Action and he published it in Essai de cosmologie Maupertuis died 27 July 1759 in Basel, Switzerland. The meaning of the trip The English scientists Isaac Newton’s theory was different. He thought that the centrifugal force leads to the enormous mass of the Earth swelling out at the equator, flattening the poles, and giving the Earth a similar shape to that of an orange. To prove the Newton’s theory the French Academy of Sciences sent two expeditions to measure the length of a degree along the meridian. One expedition was sent to equator to Peru (now Ecuador) led by Pierre Cassini and Charles-Marie de La Condamine and other expedition led by Maupertuis was sent to near the pole to Tornio in Finland.

Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis Venus physique / The Earthly Venus La Haye, 1745 Maupertuis' work is an early attempt at a materialistic explanation of the origin of species, anticipating Darwin by a century. Excerpt: Natural variation and selection give rise to functional design "Could one not say that, in the fortuitous combinations of the productions of nature, as there must be some characterized by a certain relation of fitness which are able to subsist, it is not to be wondered at that this fitness is present in all the species that are currently in existence? Chance, one would say, produced an innumerable multitude of individuals; a small number found themselves constructed in such a manner that the parts of the animal were able to satisfy its needs; in another infinitely greater number, there was neither fitness nor order: all of these latter have perished. Animals lacking a mouth could not live; others lacking reproductive organs could not perpetuate themselves... The species we see today are but the smallest part of what blind destiny has produced..."

Can Matter Store Active Information? Landmarks In the History of Genetics (revised 7 February 2002) Year Event Theoretical implications Maupertuis proposes an adaptationist account of organic design Presupposes some mechanism for transmitting adaptations Darwin publishes Th e O rigin of Species , vastly strengthening the adaptationist hypothesis Gregory Mendel publishes evidence for the discreteness and combinatorial rules of inherited traits Traits are carried by discrete units, or genes; the results are not appreciated until 1900 Miescher discovers "nuclein" (DNA) in the cells from pus in open wounds cells composed mostly of nuclear material. It became known as nucleic acid after 1874, when Miescher separated it into a protein and an acid molecule. Suspected of exerting some function in the hereditary process Muller formulates the chief principles of spontaneous gene mutation as point effects of ultramicroscopic physico-chemical accidents; he induces such changes using X-rays The gene constitutes the basis of life and evolution by virtue of its property of reproducing its own internal changes Nucleic acid found to be a major component of the chromosomes Its molecular structure was thought to be simple, so it was not a good candidate for a carrier of genetic information

Inhaltsverzeichnis Leben Arbeiten über Biologie Werke Weblinks Leben Im Alter von 20 Jahren trat Maupertuis als Kavallerie-Hauptmann in die Armee ein und diente dort fünf Jahre lang. In seiner freien Zeit studierte er Mathematik und machte dabei Bekannschaft mit Newtons Gravitationstheorie . Im Gegensatz zu den Bernoullis wurde er zu einem heftigen Befürworter dieser Theorie - was damals noch einigen Mut erforderte und neben naturwissenschaftlichen auch philosophische Fragen aufwarf. wurde er 25jährig in die französische Akademie der Wissenschaften aufgenommen. besuchte er London und wurde zu einem Mitglied der Royal Society gewählt. 1736 führt er eine Expedition im Auftrag König Ludwig XV. nach Lappland , um dort die Länge eines Breitengrades zu vermessen.
