The Modern Synthesis: Theoretical or Institutional Event?
Journal of the History of Biology 52 (4):519-535 (2019)
Abstract
This paper surveys questions about the nature of the Modern Synthesis as a historical event : was it rather theoretical than institutional? When and where did it actually happen? Who was involved? It argues that all answers to these questions are interrelated, and that systematic sets of answers define specific perspectives on the Modern Synthesis that are all complementary.Author Profiles
