Anthony William Fairbank Edwards, FRS (born 1935) is a British statistician, geneticist and evolutionary biologist. He is the son of the surgeon Harold C. Edwards, and brother of medical geneticist John H. Edwards. He has sometimes been called "Fisher's Edwards" to distinguish him from his brother, because he was mentored by Ronald Fisher. Edwards has always had a high regard for Fisher's scientific contributions and has written extensively on them. To mark the Fisher centenary in 1990, Edwards proposed a commemorative Sir Ronald Fisher window be installed in the Dining Hall of Gonville & Caius College. When the window was removed in 2020, he vigorously opposed the move.

  • Anthony William Fairbank Edwards (Londra, 4 ottobre 1935) è uno statistico, genetista e biologo britannico, specializzato in biologia evolutiva. È membro a vita del Gonville and Caius College ed ex professore di Biometria all'Università di Cambridge, ed ha lauree sia ScD che LittD. Allievo di R.A. Fisher, ha scritto diversi libri e numerose riviste scientifiche. È conosciuto soprattutto per la sua opera di pioniere, con L.L. Cavalli-Sforza, sui metodi quantitativi dell'analisi filogenetica, e per aver propugnato fortemente il concetto di Fisher di probabilità come base propria della deduzione statistica e scientifica. Ha anche scritto molto riguardo alla storia della genetica e della statistica, includendo un'analisi sul fatto che i risultati di Mendel fossero "così buoni", come anche su a (it)
