Talk:Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza

message: I was under the impression that this was supposed to be an article about Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza. Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza was a pioneer in population genetics, yet somebody has edited the page so as to make it appear that his prime interest was race.  Further, there was an image that attempted to categorize racial groups; I for one know this image did not come from Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza’s work, and is a forgery.

thread_title:  Why is this article about race 

message: User:Nectarflowed, I don't see any foundation for this statement. The book mentions 9 clusters at one point, and I think they are arbitrary groupings for analysis, not experimental results. --JWB 16:47, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ten clusters 

message: Gee, I hate to bring up TECHNICAL issues, but  the assertion: 
His papers in the mid-1960's with Anthony Edwards pioneered statistical methods for reconstructing evolutionary trees (phylogenies). They introduced the first parsimony method, which searched for the tree that connected the populations with the least change in gene frequencies. They also were first to use maximum likelihood methods to estimate phylogenies. 
is incorrect in that I wrote the first solution of this problem in the proceedings of the Hong Kong U. Symposium on Statistical Genetics in 1968.  I solved the problem as a post-doc under Cavalli at Pavia.

message: This is a biography of a living person, so this article needs much better sourcing to make clear what Cavalli-Sforza's current views are and how other scientists have evaluated his scientific work. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 15:29, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article badly needs up-to-date sourcing for neutral point of view. 

message: You may find it helpful while reading or editing articles to look at a bibliography of  Anthropology and Human Biology Citations, posted for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human genetics and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in these issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research. You can help other Wikipedians by  suggesting new sources through comments on that page. It will be extremely helpful for articles on human genetics to edit them according to the  Wikipedia standards for reliable sources for medicine-related articles, as it is important to get these issues as well verified as possible. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 15:34, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Helpful sources for updating this article 

message: Just pointing out that without more context -- specifically, "criterion suggested by Mayr (1963) for systematic zoology" -- we can't tell whether these quotes actually contradict each other. 192.91.173.42 (talk) 22:57, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Views on the concept of race in humans 

message: I read: "Cavalli-Sforza's interest in hypothesized large-scale language families is as a basis for comparison ...". Does the word "as" need removing or expanding?Redav (talk) 00:22, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for mentioning that mangled sentence. The article should be edited more with the sources mentioned in the article bibliography used as reliable secondary sources for further article updates. Most of those books are interesting and well worth reading. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 03:28, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
