How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T10687978 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Evolution in Mendelian Populations
"Evolution in Mendelian Populations" is a foundational 1931 paper by Sewall Wright that introduced key concepts of population genetics, including genetic drift, inbreeding, and the shifting balance theory of evolution.
-
B.
Evolutionary Games and Population Dynamics
"Evolutionary Games and Population Dynamics" is a foundational book that applies game theory to evolutionary biology, analyzing how strategic interactions shape the behavior and composition of populations over time.
-
C.
Evolution and the Genetics of Populations
Evolution and the Genetics of Populations is a foundational multi-volume work in population genetics that systematically presents Sewall Wright’s theories on genetic drift, inbreeding, selection, and the evolutionary process.
-
D.
Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection
Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection is a key principle in evolutionary biology stating that the rate of increase in fitness of a population is proportional to its genetic variance in fitness.
-
E.
Genetics of the Evolutionary Process
Genetics of the Evolutionary Process is a seminal work in evolutionary biology that synthesizes genetic principles with natural selection to explain how evolutionary change occurs within and between populations.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
