William Ernest Castle, American geneticist : a case-study in the impact of the Mendelian research program

Creator:

Taylor, H. Terry

Abstract:

In their modern context questions of heredity have come to be closely aligned with theories of evolution because all such theories require the presence of heritable variation.

Abstract:

The resurgence of creationism the past few years has been led by advocates of recent-creationism.

Recent-creationists support their position by appealing to the Genesis account...

Creator:

Blaisdell, Muriel Louise

Abstract:

Experimental taxonomy, 1930-1950 : the impact of cytology, ecology, and genetics on ideas of biological classification

Creator:

Hagen, Joel Bartholemew

Abstract:

During the years between 1930 and 1950 a number of attempts were made to introduce techniques and ideas from cytology, ecology, and genetics into the field of taxonomy. Advocates of this "experimental taxonomy" believed that cytological, ecological, and genetic techniques would provide a rigorous, objective methodology to replace the traditional...
