(Redirected from G. G. Simpson)
George Gaylord Simpson (1902-1984), of Yale and Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History, is a legend in the history of evolutionary biology. He was one of the principal architects of the Modern Synthesis and his formidable body of work continues to present standard references in any study on evolution. In addition to his work on the Modern Synthesis, Simpson is perhaps best remembered for his advancement of an eclectic method of phylogenetic reconstruction termed "evolutionary systematics" (see Bock 1973, e.g.).
