Excerpt:
This is an informal and incomplete guide to the history of evolutionary biology from about 1800 to about 1950. It is maintained by John Alroy. Its main emphases are on the late 19th century and on paleontology. However, I hope to see the coverage become more comprehensive in the near future. If you have any comments or suggestions or wish to contribute to the site, I strongly encourage you to do so; please write me. The only limits on contributions are that they must follow the site's format and carry your byline. Contributors to date include Mark Largent.
Annotation:
This is an informal and incomplete guide to the history of evolutionary biology from about 1800 to about 1950. Its main emphases are on the late 19th century and on paleontology. The site provides brief biographies of 53 leading evolutionary biologists beginning with Lamarck and Erasmus Darwin. A timeline from 1747 to 1953, a page of Darwin quotes and a description of significant scientific voyages during the nineteenth-century compliments the site. Researchers may find the annotated bibliography of works in the history of evolution to be the most useful part of this site. Lastly, the site hosts a number of links to related history of evolution sites.
