    Extractions: Thomas Hunt Morgan By courtesy of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena (b. Sept. 25, 1866, Lexington, Ky., U.S.d. Dec. 4, 1945, Pasadena, Calif.), American zoologist and geneticist, famous for his experimental research with the fruit fly ( Drosophila ) by which he established the chromosome theory of heredity. He showed that genes are linked in a series on chromosomes and are responsible for identifiable, hereditary traits. Morgan's work played a key role in establishing the field of genetics . He received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1933. Morgan's father, Charlton Hunt Morgan, was a U.S. consul, and his uncle, John Hunt Morgan, had been a Confederate army general. Early in life, Morgan showed an interest in natural history. In 1886 he received the B.S. degree from the State College of Kentucky (later the University of Kentucky) in zoology and then entered Johns Hopkins University for graduate work in biology. At Hopkins, Morgan studied under the morphologist and embryologist William Keith Brooks. After being awarded the Ph.D. in 1890, Morgan remained there a year before accepting a teaching post at Bryn Mawr College. Experiments in embryology.

    Extractions: As a child he had shown an immense interest in natural history and even at the age of ten, he collected birds, birds' eggs, and fossils during his life in the country; and in 1887, the year after his graduation, he spent some time at the seashore laboratory of Alphaeus Hyatt at Annisquam, Mass. During the years 1888-1889, he was engaged in research for the United States Fish Commission at Woods Hole, a laboratory with which he was continuously associated from 1902 onwards, making expeditions to Jamaica and the Bahamas. In 1890 he obtained his Ph.D. degree at Johns Hopkins University. ln that same year he was awarded the Adam Bruce Fellowship and visited Europe, working especially at the Marine Zoological Laboratory at Naples which he visited again in 1895 and 1900. At Naples he met Hans Driesch and Curt Herbst. The influence of Driesch with whom he later collaborated, no doubt turned his mind in the direction of experimental embryology.

    Extractions: American geneticist whose maternal great grandfather was Francis Scott Key, author of the words to the American national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." Morgan pioneered the entire field of genetics with his study of Drosophila, the fruit fly. He collaborated at Caltech with Bridges and Sturtevant. In 1915, Morgan collaborated with Sturtevant, Hermann Muller and Bridges in writing the landmark textbook The Mechanism of Mendelian Heredity. In 1933, Morgan was awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the chromosomal mechanism by which traits are passed to offspring through interaction of genes.

    Extractions: Morgan got his Ph.D., on the evolutionary relationships of pycnogonids, under W.K. Brooks at Johns Hopkins. Brooks was firmly entrenched in the morphological tradition and exposed Morgan, along with E.B. Wilson, E.G. Conklin, and later R.G. Harrison, to marine biology and experimental zoology. Brooks drew his students into field zoology, though those students went on to pursue more empirical, experimental approach to science advocated by Brooks's colleague, physiologist H Newell Martin. In 1891 Morgan replaced Wilson at Bryn Mawr (Wilson had moved to Columbia), where he met Jacques Loeb, and stayed until 1904. From morphology, then, his research interests shifted to experimental embryology (1891-94), as did many of his contemporaries. He carried out research on regeneration in earthworms and development of sea urchins. A strong influence at this time was his friend Hans Driesch, whom Morgan met at the Naples Zoological Station. Morgan became a devotee of Entwicklungsmechanik, or developmental mechanics. Morgan disagreed with Driesch on vitalism, but maintained a strong alliance with him on the importance of experimental methods. Morgan was interested in evolution, but skeptical of Darwinism, which he perceived to be too speculative and not grounded in observable phenomena. After 1900 he was also critical of Mendelism and the chromosomal theory of heredity. In about 1908, Morgan began working with Drosophila. According to Garland Allen, he was trying to find macromutations a la Hugo de Vries, whom Morgan greatly admired. His approach was experimental evolution, an effort to distinguish among the evolutionary theories of the Darwinists, neo-Lamarckists, and de Vries by experimental breeding and Mendelian analysis.

    Extractions: 1995 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine Thomas Hunt Morgan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1933. The work for which the prize was awarded was completed over a 17-year period at Columbia University , commencing in 1910 with his discovery of the white-eyed mutation in the fruit fly, Drosophila. Morgan received his Ph. D. degree in 1890 at Johns Hopkins University . He then went to Europe and is said to have been much influenced by a stay at the Naples Marine Laboratory and contact there with A. Dohrn and H. Driesch. He learned the importance of pursuing an experimental, as opposed to descriptive, approach to studying biology and in particular embryology, which was his main interest early in his career. A useful account of Morgan's life and works has been given by G. Allen (ref. 1). In 1928 he moved with several of his group to Pasadena, where he joined the faculty of the California Institute of Technology (or Caltech) and became the first chairman of its Biology Division. What factors were responsible for the successes that Morgan and his students achieved at Columbia University and how did these factors carry over to the Caltech era first under Morgan's, and later

    Extractions: . . . . the rise and development of genetics to mature age is another instance of an all-comprising and all-affecting generalization based upon an overwhelming body of integrated facts, . . . [and] will rank in the history of science with such other great events as mentioned, . . . The basic tenets of genetics have already influenced decisively all parts of biology after what has been only a short span in the history of science; and further that beyond this, many other fields of science have fallen under the spell and we have every reason to believe that genetics is bound to remain in a pivotal position in the future. Richard B. Goldschmidt, The Impact of Genetics Upon Science When future historians turn to examine the major intellectual accomplishments of the twentieth century, they will undoubtedly give a special place to the extraordinary achievements in biology, achievements that have revolutionized our understanding of life's processes and of disease. Important intimations of what was to happen in biology were already apparent in the second half of the nineteenth century. Darwin had delineated the evolution of animal species, Mendel had discovered some basic rules about inheritance, and Weissman, Roux, Driesch, de Vries, and other embryologists were beginning to decipher how an organism develops from a single cell. What was lacking at the end of the nineteenth century, however, was an overarching sense of how these bold advances were related to one another.

    Extractions: Von der Morphologie wechselte Morgan - wie viele seiner Zeitgenossen - langsam zu embryologischen Fragestellungen. Er studierte die Regeneration von Regenwürmern und die Entwicklung von Seeigeln. Stark beeinflusst wurde Morgan von seinem Freund Hans Driesch , den er in Neapel an der Zoologischen Station kennengelernt hatte. Morgan wurde ein Bewunderer der Entwicklungsmechanik von Driesch. Zwar lehnte er dessen Gedanken über Vitalismus ab, aber er übernahm seine Betonung der Wichtigkeit von experimentellen Methoden.
