J.B.S. Haldane made important contributions to several sciences although he did not possess an academic qualification in any branch of science. A classical scholar, who grew up in a scientific household in Oxford, Haldane was taught the principles of scientific experimentation from his childhood by his father, the distinguished physiologist John Scott Haldane. Collaborating with his father, Haldane contributed to respiratory physiology but soon switched to genetics, especially population genetics. He investigated mathematically the dynamics of selection - mutation balance in populations - concluding that it is mutation that determines the course of evolution. Besides genetics, Haldane was noted for his important contributions to enzyme kinetics, origin of life, biometry, cybernetics, cosmology and deep sea diving, among others.

据我所知，JBS Haldane简要介绍了他对突变研究的贡献。

JBS霍尔丹（JBS Haldane）对数种科学做出了重要贡献，尽管他在任何科学领域都没有学术资格。霍尔丹是一位古典学者，他生长在牛津的一个科学家庭中，他的父亲，杰出的生理学家约翰·斯科特·霍尔丹（John Scott Haldane）从小就学会了科学实验的原理。Haldane与他的父亲合作，为呼吸生理做出了贡献，但很快又转向了遗传学，尤其是人口遗传学。他用数学方法研究了选择的动力学-种群中的突变平衡-得出结论，正是突变决定了进化的过程。除遗传学外，霍尔丹还因其对酶动力学，生命起源，生物统计学，控制论，宇宙学和深海潜水等方面的重要贡献而闻名。
