Abstract
Early in his long scientific career, Richard Goldschmidt perceived that the young science of genetics was destined to become the core of a new biology. Indeed, he was one of the chief architects of that biology, infusing a genetic perspective particularly into classical cytology and embryology. Eventually his attention became focused on the genetics of the evolutionary process.
