John Tyler Bonner, a pioneering scientist in the biology of social amoebae and a founding figure of evolutionary developmental biology, died in February at the age of 98. He was writing and submitting articles through the last year of his life. This review by Biological Theory’s editor of Bonner’s autobiography, Life Cycles: Reflections of an Evolutionary Biologist, was published in the journal Current Science 25 years ago (25 May 1994, Vol. 66(10), pp. 798–800). It is reprinted here, with the permission of the publisher, in commemoration of Professor Bonner.
