[HELICONIUS] 50th anniversary meeting of the "Pop Group"

[James Mallet]

John R.G. Turner gives a spirited introduction here 
(http://populationgeneticsgroup.org.uk/) 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 /Cepaea/ 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.
