The author provides a history of quantitative genetics and its connections to big data and sequenced genomes. Drawing on revisions of previously published papers, he discusses the analysis of variance and covariance procedures used in the 1950s and the estimation of the genetic and variance and covariance components making up models of quantitative genetics; testing a hypothesis as to whether a major gene was sufficient to explain a quantitative trait that arose in connection with work with human blood; direct estimation of effects and variance components for the case of one quantitative trait; pleiotropism and the direct estimation of variance and covariance components and effects that arise when several quantitative traits are considered; the estimation and tests of statistical significance in the case of one autosomal locus with two alleles; and ideas for investigating the genetics of some quantitative in big data sets.
