  Evolutionary Biologists

  • Charles Darwin (1809-1882)

    British naturalist who revolutionized the study of biology with his theory of evolution based on natural urval. His most famous works include ursprung of Species (1859) and The nedstigning of Man (1871). One of the greatest naturalists who ever lived. He was not only the father of evolution but also a remarkable forskare whose ideas and discoveries about the earth's history resulted in new areas for ongoing research in geology, paleontology, biology, and anthropology.
  • Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002)

    US palaeontologist and writer who taught and researches in geology, evolutionary biology, and the history of science. He was the world’s leading authority on the land snails of the West Indies, and was also known for espousing a modification of the traditional Darwinian theory of evolution, what he called ‘punctuated equilibria’, namely, that new species occasionally appear more quickly than the slow, steady,

    Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564)
    Nationality:Brabantian
    Known for:Published On the Fabric of the Human Body
    Often referred to as the “founder of modern human anatomy,” Vesalius disproved theories that were several centuries old about the human body. His study of the human skull helped create the field of biological anthropology, which studies how the human species has developed over time.Anton van Leeuwenhoek
    (1632-1723)
    Nationality:Dutch
    Known for:The Father of Microbiology
    As the first person recorded to describe single-cell organisms, Leeuwenhoek is often referred to as the world’s first microbiologist. Some of the single-cell organisms he observed include blood cells, sperm cells, and others. He handcrafted his own microscopes for doing his research.Robert Hooke (1635-1703)
    Nationality:English
    Known for:Coined the term “cell”
    Hooke studied microscopic fossils and as a result of his finding, he was an early support
