| biography:
| Embryologist and geneticist, born in Evesham, Hereford and Worcester, WC England, UK. He studied at Cambridge, and became professor of animal genetics at Edinburgh (1947–70). He introduced important concepts into evolutionary theory, envisaging a mechanism by which Lamarckianism could be incorporated into orthodox Darwinian genetics. He wrote a standard textbook, Principles of Embryology (1956), and also helped to popularize science in such general books as The Ethical Animal (1960). |
