PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Stephen Jay Gould was born in Queens, New York on September 10.
he passed away may 20, 2002 in new york at the age of sixty.
in 1972 the theory of punctuated equilibrium was published by Gould and his colleague niles Eldredge. Their publishment was a landmark contribution to the study of evolution.
in the 1970s, gould made one of his most important scientific publications.
His publication was the book "Ontogeny and Phylogeny" published in 1977.
His book talks about the maturation of organisms focusing on their evolution as species.
n 1975 he was given the Schuchert Award by the Paleontological Society for his original work in evolutionary theory.
Gould served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, From 1999 to 2001.
When his term came to an end, he was named Humanist of the Year by the American Humanist Association.
All of his findings and contributions relate to the modern theory of evolution, by doing so, it contrasts the idea that evolutionary change is marked by a patter of consistent change in the fossil record.
all his findings and publications relate to the commonly held beliefs of the day. around the world, gould remains popular, influential, best-loved author and scientist on the subject of evolution.
his findings and contributions all relate to the common held beliefs of the day
Ronald Fisher Born in London, England on 17 February, 1890.
Passed away aged 72 on July 29, 1962, in Adelaide, Australia.
Fisher was an evo9lutionary biologist.
a very important achievement Fisher made was the origination of the concept of analysis of variance. THIS ALLOWED experiments to answer several questions at once.
FISHER WAS ALSO ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE NEO-DARWINIAN MODERN EVOLUTIONARY SYNTHESIS. HE ALSO PUBLISHED MANY NOVELS INCLUDING “The Correlation of Relatives on the Supposition of Mendelian Inheritance” in 1918, "On the Dominance Ratio” in 1922 and "The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection" published in 1930.
All of his work and findings helped fisher add his own opinion and knowledge to the theory of evolution.
these findings and publications relate to the commonly held beliefs of the day, because scientists are able to learn from fisher's contributions to science and they are able to look more into those topics and add new information.
Sewall wright was born December 21, 1889 in boston, massachusetts.
He died March 3, 1988 at the age of 99 in Madison a city in wisconsin.
Wright was an american geneticist known for his work on the evolutionary theory.
He published a four-volume magnum opus, "Evolution and the Genetics of Populations"
These volumes were the climax of his work in the evolutionary theory.
Wright received many awards including the weldon medal of royal society of london in 1947, the National Medal of Science in 1966, and the Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1980.
He also discovered the inbreeding coefficient.
The theories wright made contradicted the ones that were known at the time. The contradiction created helped shape the theory of evolution and it has been changed into a clear and better understanding theory as it is seen today.
Thomas henry Huxley
He was born on May 4, 1825, in London.
He died at the age of 70 on June 29, 1895 in london.
Huxley's most famous writing, published in 1863, is Evidence on Man's Place in Nature.
This publishment was one of the first attempts to apply evolution especially to the human race.
He also published his own book on evolution
'Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature' published in 1863. It was based ob the infomation he had obtained and published before, but mostly on the subject of man's origins.
His findings relate to the beliefs held today because all his work is related to what scientists have found.
The amino acid structures found in humans are very similar to the ones found in primates.
