Theodosius Dobzhansky's role in the emergence and institutionalization of genetics in Mexico.

THE science of genetics was introduced in Mexico lected Drosophila flies there in 1935, 1936, and 1938. His lasting influence on Mexican genetics started several at the beginning of the twentieth century by the agronomist Edmundo Taboada, who studied in the decades later, mostly mediated by de Garay, who invited Dobzhansky to lecture and facilitated the initiation of United States at Cornell Un...

Why was Darwin’s view of species rejected by twentieth century biologists?

Historians and philosophers of science agree that Darwin had an understanding of species which led to a workable theory of their origins. To Darwin species did not differ essentially from ‘varieties’ within species, but were distinguishable in that they had developed gaps in formerly continuous morphological variation. Similar ideas can be defended today after updating them with modern populati...
