<p>John R.G. Turner gives a spirited introduction here
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://populationgeneticsgroup.org.uk/">http://populationgeneticsgroup.org.uk/</a>) to the history of the
early Pop Group (Population Genetics Group), an anarchic group who
would meet in UK and eventually attract a large crowd of
international followers from Europe, Asia, and America. As it was
started in the 1960s by ecological geneticists, particularly those
working on <i>Cepaea</i> snails such as Bryan Clarke and Arthur
Cain, it attracted the attention of people working on non-model
organisms, but included luminaries such as Walter Bodmer, Michael
Bulmer, Steve Jones, John Maynard Smith, Mark Williamson, and John
Turner. <br>
