Why Is Edmund Beecher Wilson Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Edmund Beecher Wilson was a pioneering American zoologist and geneticist. He wrote one of the most influential textbooks in modern biology, The Cell. He discovered the chromosomal XY sex-determination system in 1905—that human males have XY and females XX sex chromosomes. Nettie Stevens independently made the same discovery the same year and published shortly thereafter.
