He was 60 years old. The cause was adenocarcinoma, his wife, Rhonda Roland Schearer, said. Perhaps the most influential and best known evolutionary biologist since Charles Darwin, Dr. Gould touched off numerous debates by challenging scientists to rethink evolutionary patterns and processes. He is credited with bringing a forsaken paleontological perspective to the evolutionary mainstream. - Jim Previous message: MS support for e-Mexico plan Next message: Economics of game boxes Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]

REDS Die Roten Science Naturwissenschaft Steven Rose The measure of a man (June 2002) From Socialist Review 263 , June 2002. Downloaded form the Socialist Review archive at http://www.lpi.org.uk/ This is an edited version which first appeared in the Guardian newspaper. Marked up by for Steven Rose pays tribute to the life and work of Stephen Jay Gould Natural History magazine and republished in a seemingly unending stream of books. A stylish writer, Gould characterised each essay by deriving a seemingly abstruse point in natural history or palaeontology via a sideways look at a novel, a building, or, often, a reference to his lifelong enthusiasm for baseball. He once illuminated the peculiar evolutionary phenomenon in which more recently evolved species within a family group steadily decrease in size by comparing it to how the manufacturers of Hershey bars avoided price rises by making the bars smaller. The Mismeasure Of Man (1981), became a major source for anti-racist campaigners. Sociobiology For Gould the issues were never just about politics, but also about a different view of the mechanisms and processes of evolution, a view that reached its clearest expression in his last and greatest book, The Structure Of Evolutionary Theory Rocks Of Ages The Structure Of Evolutionary Theory Start of the page Last updated on

hen five-year-old Stephen Jay Gould first marveled at the towering Tyrannosaurus skeleton in the American Museum of Natural History, he decided to spend his life studying fossils. Although few children in Queens, New York, shared his early fascination for evolution, he never considered any other career but paleontology. Now professor at Harvard University and curator of its Museum of Comparative Zoology, Gould attended Antioch College, then returned to Manhattan, for graduate work in paleontology at Columbia University. For his doctoral thesis he investigated variation and evolution in an obscure Burmudian land snail, anchoring his later theorizing in intense scrutiny of a single group of organisms, as Darwin had done with Barnacles Gould also became interested in distinguishing incidental features from adaptive ones. He coauthored (with Richard Lewontin) an influential paper Ever Since Darwin (1977) and The Panda's Thumb Among opponents of punctuationalism, a few (Richard Dawkins, Verne Grant) complain Gould has set up a "straw man" of Darwinian gradualism and that jumpy or "quantum evolution" was discussed years ago by Ernst Mayr and George Gaylord Simpson . Examples of Darwin's self-contradictory fudging are easy to find, but Gould maintains that change "by slow, insensible degrees" remained central to Darwinian thought. And while acknowledging his predecessors' insights, Gould argues that often it is a shift of emphasis and focus rather than a radically new idea that leads to deeper scientific understanding.

December 21, 1999 A CONVERSATION WITH / Stephen Jay Gould Primordial Beasts, Creationists and the Mighty Yankees Related Article Featured Author: Stephen Jay Gould Forum Join a Discussion on Science in the News By CLAUDIA DREIFUS t was a sunny afternoon in SoHo and the paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Vincent Astor visiting research professor of biology at New York University and the Alexander Agassiz professor of geology at Harvard was sitting around his loft, ruminating about the pleasures of finally living in Manhattan. Rick Friedman for The New York Times To Dr. Stephen Jay Gould, at his Harvard office, writing comes easily. A paleontologist, he has written 19 books, many of them best sellers. Dr. Gould, 58, has spent much of his life circling Manhattan. He grew up in 1950's Queens in a working-class family, in a time when Manhattan was the ever-distant "city." In 1967, Dr. Gould got his Harvard appointment, which meant, of course, living in Cambridge and being one of the few Yankees fans in all of Harvard Yard. Four years ago, Dr. Gould, who was divorced, married a sculptor and art historian, Rhonda Roland Shearer of Manhattan, now 45, and together, they set up housekeeping in SoHo, in a vast urban spread filled with Tiffany lamps, good art and first-edition scientific tomes.

Gould. (Staff photo by Jon Chase) Gould, the Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology, spent his professional career at Harvard. He wrote widely on topics ranging from baseball to the Piltdown Man hoax to the Sept. 11 tragedy. He appeared on the cover of Newsweek in 1982, and colleagues called him "the bulldog of evolutionary biology" for his outspoken advocacy of his views. "I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of Stephen Jay Gould," said Harvard University President Lawrence H. Summers. "The Harvard community and the world of science have lost a brilliant scholar whose research helped redefine our notion of who we are and where we came from. He was also a gifted teacher who brought important scientific ideas vividly to life for his students and for the wider public. We will miss him greatly, and we will continue to learn from his work for generations to come." "Secondly, he was the best science writer for the public when it came to explaining evolution. Steve did not try to make it simple, he tried and succeeded in explaining the complications. He made readers appreciate how messy and variable life is. Rather than being a popularizer of science, Steve always told the truth in ways people could understand, and he did it better than anyone," Lewontin added.

Home Newswire About Us Donate ... Archives Featured Views Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Monday, February 19, 2001 in the New York Times Humbled by the Genome's Mysteries by Stephen Jay Gould Two groups of researchers released the formal report of data for the human genome last Monday — on the birthday of Charles Darwin, who jump-started our biological understanding of life's nature and evolution when he published "The Origin of Species" in 1859. On Tuesday, and for only the second time in 35 years of teaching, I dropped my intended schedule — to discuss the importance of this work with my undergraduate course on the history of life. (The only other case, in a distant age of the late 60's, fell a half-hour after radical students had seized University Hall and physically ejected the deans; this time at least, I told my students, the reason for the change lay squarely within the subject matter of the course!) I am no lover, or master, of sound bites or epitomes, but I began by telling my students that we were sharing a great day in the history of science and of human understanding in general.
