J. B. S. Haldane (1892-1964) was an outstanding scientist and a polymath who contributed significantly to physiology, genetics, biochemistry, statistics, biometry, cosmology, and philosophy, although he himself possessed no formal qualifications in any branch of science. His early science training was provided by his father, Oxford University physiologist J. S. Haldane, and the rest was self-taught. The author came to know him well as his student during his last years, which were spent in India (1957-1964). Haldane's unique intellectual qualities and the research undertaken by his associates in India during those years are described.
J. B. S. 霍尔丹（1892-1964 年）是一位杰出的科学家和博学家，他在生理学、遗传学、生物化学、统计学、生物计量学、宇宙学和哲学方面做出了重大贡献，尽管他本人在任何科学领域都没有正式的资格。他的早期科学培训是由他的父亲，牛津大学生理学家 J. S. 霍尔丹提供的，其余的都是自学的。作者在他生命的最后几年（1957-1964 年）在印度期间，作为他的学生与他相识。本文描述了霍尔丹独特的智力素质和他在印度的同事在那些年所进行的研究。
