''The Correlation between Relatives on the Supposition of Mendelian Inheritance'' is a scientific paper by Ronald Fisher which was published in the ''Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh'' in 1918, (volume 52, pages 399–433). In it, Fisher puts forward a genetics conceptual model that shows that continuous variation amongst phenotypic traits could be the result of Mendelian inheritance. The paper also contains the first use of the statistical term ''variance''. == Background ==
Mendelian inheritance was rediscovered in 1900. However, there were differences of opinion as to the variation that natural selection acted upon. The biometric school, led by Karl Pearson followed Charles Darwin's idea that small differences were important for evolution. The Mendelian school, led by William Bateson, however thought that Gregor Mendel's work gave an evolutionary mechanism with large differences. Joan Box, Fisher's biographer and daughter states in her 1978 book, ''The Life of a Scientist''〔(R A Fisher: the life of a scientist Preface )〕 that Fisher, then a student, had resolved this problem in 1911. Fisher had originally submitted his paper (then entitled "The correlation to be expected between relatives on the supposition of Mendelian inheritance") to the Royal Society, to be published in their Transactionsn. The two referees, the biologist R. C. Punnett and the statistician Karl Pearson, believed that the paper contained areas they were unable to judge, due to lack of expertise, and expressed some reservations. Though the paper was not rejected, Fisher carried on a feud with Pearson from 1917 onwards, and instead sent the paper via J. Arthur Thomson to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, which published it in its ''Transactions''.
