約翰·伯頓·桑德森·霍爾丹

**約翰・伯頓・桑德森・霍爾丹** FRS（英語：**John Burdon Sanderson Haldane**，1892 年 11 月 5 日 —1964 年 12 月 1 日；通常被稱做 **J.B.S. 霍爾丹**、**霍爾丹**，在他的著作中有時也使用 J.B.S.；姓或譯作**荷頓**）， 出生於大不列顛， 是一名遺傳學家和進化生物學家。霍爾丹是一名堅定的馬克思主義者， 由於對大不列顛政府對於蘇伊士運河危機的政策感到不滿，離開牛津大學去往印度並成為一名印度公民。霍爾丹同羅納德・費雪和休厄爾・賴特一起被認為是種群遺傳學的奠基人。

J.B.S. 霍爾丹在 1929 年發表的一篇關於「生命起源」的文章中提出了「有機物可由無機物形成」的假說，而這個假說已於 1924 年由俄羅斯科學家亞歷山大・伊萬諾維奇・奧巴林提出。由於兩人是分別提出相同的假說，並不互相知情，因此後人稱此假說為「歐帕林 — 霍爾丹假說」。

## 獲獎

1952 年，霍爾丹獲得了英國皇家學會達爾文獎章。1956 年，他獲得英國皇家人類學研究所授予赫胥黎（Huxley）紀念獎章。在其他的榮譽中，他還獲得了 Feltrinelli 獎，科學名譽博士學位，新學院榮譽院士和美國科學院授予的 Kimber 獎。1958 年，他被倫敦林奈學會授予達爾文 - 華萊士獎章。
