FAMOUS SCIENTIST AND THIER CONTRIBUTIONS

Robert Brown                   
He discovered that the center part of the cell is called nucleus.

Aristotle                              
Father of biology, he study different plants and animals.

Anton Van Leeuwenhock
He improved the light of microscope.



Carolous Von Linneaus   
Father of taxonomy, he classified different plants and animals.

Robert Hooke                     
He discovered that cork have cells.

Gregor Mendel                  
Father of Genetics, he study about heredity.

Charles Darwin (1809-1882). 
English naturalist.  Created the science of evolutionary biology. His book, On the Origin of Species, convinced many of the reality of evolution. Remembered for the theory of natural selection, the credit for which he had to share with Alfred Wallace, who formulated it independently.

Louis Agassiz (1807-1873). 
Swiss-born American zoologist, geologist, and paleontologist, with a special expertise in ichthyology. Founder and director of Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology, he was one of the most famous scientists of his day.

Carolus Linnaeus (23 May 1707 — 10 January 1778). 
Swedish botanist, zoologist, and taxonomist. Established conventions for naming living organisms still in general scientific use today — in particular, he popularized binomial nomenclature, which had first been by developed by the Bauhin brothers (Gaspard and Johann Bauhin) more than a century before. He was the first to use binomial names consistently. As a young man Linnaeus was a creationist, but he later developed an evolutionary theory of his own.

Gregor Mendel (1822-1884). 
Austrian scientist/monk. Showed inheritance of traits follows particular rules, now known as Mendel's Laws. In an fascinating, original article, guest author David Allen, discusses Mendel's hybridization research, and how it has been misrepresented at times by both sides of the modern debate between Darwinians and creationists.

Hamilton O. Smith (1931-). 
American microbiologist. Shared the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Werner Arber and Daniel Nathans for the discovery of restriction endonucleases, which led to the development of recombinant DNA technology.

William Smith (1769-1839). 
English geologist and surveyor. The man who did for English geology what his more fortunate contemporary Georges Cuvier did for the geology of France. Smith was the first Englishman to realize and to document that certain characteristic fossils are associated with particular geological strata, and that strata overlay each other in the same order in different geographic locations. His work, together with that of Cuvier, can be viewed as the first foundation of the modern science of stratigraphy. Their work did much to document a temporal succession of fossil fauna and flora that evolutionary theorists would later try to explain. Although Smith made his discoveries at the same time as did Cuvier, he lacked an upper-crust education and Cuvier's imposing professional standing. These two factors caused a long delay in Smith's receiving the recognition he deserved.
