Newton Ennis Morton (born 21 December 1929) is a retired American population geneticist and one of the founders of the field of genetic epidemiology. ==Early life and education== Morton was born in Camden, New Jersey as a first child. After 3 months his family moved to New Haven, Connecticut. His interest in science started at an early age where he would collect butterflies, thinking he wanted to be an entomologist. Morton attended the Hopkins High School, later transferring to Swarthmore College for 2 years. He lost enthusiasm for entomology, so instead he decided to pursue a career in genetics after being inspired by Dobzhansky's book, Genetics and the Origin of Species. After marrying a woman from Hawaii, Morton decided to attend the University of Hawaii to earn a BA in Zoology, finishing his degree in 1951. He completed a thesis on Drosophila at the University of Wisconsin, but was more interested in the work of James F. Crow and Sewall Wright. Morton then worked with Crow on the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Japan between the years of 1952-1953. This inspired him to pursue a career in human genetics. He earned a PhD in Genetics from the University of Wisconsin in 1955.〔
