The traditional view is that developmental biology (' evo-devo ') played little part in the synthesis, but an account of Gavin de Beer's work by Stephen Jay Gould suggests he may be an exception.

Kent Gould, in his essay " Beowulf " and Folktale Morphology: God as Magical Donor, suggests that Hrunting fails because it was given to Beowulf by Unferth, a heathen.

Gould also suggests the CSIRO abandoned research into the creation of dairy cattle capable of producing non-allergenic milk for lactose-intolerant infants and a genetically engineered mosquito that could stimulate antibodies against malaria in humans who were bitten, mitigating against the spread of the disease.

" In an interview with Gould, Tim Page described this variation as having an " extraordinary chromatic texture "; Gould agreed: " I don't think there's been a richer lode of enharmonic relationships any place between Gesualdo and Wagner.

Frequently grafting his ideas onto subjects taken freely from Uncle Remus, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and the works of Dickens and Shakespeare, Gould used these literary vehicles with extraordinary dexterity and point, but with a satire that was not unkind and with a vigour from which bitterness, virulence and cynicism were notably absent.

Among its more famous critics are the evolutionary biologists Richard Dawkins, Ford Doolittle, and Stephen Jay Gould – notable, given the diversity of this trio's views on other scientific matters.

According to Gould " Cerion is the land snail of maximal diversity in form throughout the entire world.

Given Cerion's extensive geographic diversity, Gould later lamented that if Christopher Columbus had only cataloged a single Cerion it would have ended the scholarly debate about which island Columbus had first set foot on in America.

The theory of punctuated equilibrium developed by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge and first presented in 1972 is often mistakenly drawn into the discussion of transitional fossils.

Gould made the following observation concerning creationist misuse of his work to deny the existence of transitional fossils:

In this book, Gould put forth his opinion that Walcott failed to see the differences among the Burgess Shale species and " shoehorned " most of these fossils into existing phyla.

At Darwin's geological début, the anatomist Richard Owen's reports on the fossils showed that extinct species were related to current species in the same locality, and the ornithologist John Gould showed that bird specimens from the Galápagos Islands were of distinct species related to places, not just varieties.

Hence, correlation does not imply causation ; in example, Gould said that the measures of the changes, over time, in " my age, the population of México, the price of Swiss cheese, my pet turtle ’ s weight, and the average distance between galaxies " have a high, positive correlation — yet that correlation does not indicate that Gould ’ s age increased because the Mexican population increased.

This seems to indicate that fitness for existing conditions does not ensure long-term survival, especially when conditions change rapidly, and that the survival of many species depends more on chance events and features, which Gould terms exaptations, fortuitously beneficial under future conditions than on features best adapted under the present environment ( see also extinction event ).

Census records indicate the family next moved to London when James was 18 years of age and after his grandfather ( George Gould ) died.

In the latter years of his life, Gould also taught biology and evolution at New York University near his home in SoHo.

Gould survived for 20 years until another cancer ended his life.

But life, Gould argued, can easily adapt towards simplification, as is often the case with parasites.

As an evolutionary biologist and historian of science, Gould accepted biological variability ( the premise of the transmission of intelligence via genetic heredity ), but opposed biological determinism, which posits that genes determine a definitive, unalterable social destiny for each man and each woman in life and society.

In his book Wonderful Life, Stephen Jay Gould argues that if the tape of life were re-wound and played back, life would have taken a very different course.

Comparisons which might be drawn between Ross and the Canadian pianist Glenn Gould ( e. g., due to their common love of Baroque music and their unconventional approaches ) are put into a fuller context by these comments from Ross in a documentary film made toward the end of his life:

His thinking on the significance of the Burgess Shale has evolved and his current interest in evolutionary convergence and its wider significance — the topic of his 2007 Gifford Lectures-was in part spurred by Stephen Jay Gould ’ s arguments for the importance of contingency in the history of life.

While Gould held many jobs during his life, including railroad-tie repairer, boxer, aviator, and painter, it was his pursuit of photography that would change his life.

When Homer puts his daycare permit in the picture frame Bart and Lisa gave him was based on a real life experience of former writer Dana Gould in which he gave his parents a newspaper article about him winning a boston comedy competition and later found out that it was replaced by Larry Bird dunking butterfingers.

In 1990, he produced his first feature film, Cargo ; he attained international recognition following his 1993 Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould, a series of vignettes about the life of piano prodigy Glenn Gould.

In an often quoted remark, Gould stated, " Since we proposed punctuated equilibria to explain trends, it is infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationists — whether through design or stupidity, I do not know — as admitting that the fossil record includes no transitional forms.

" Stephen Gould viewed the idea less strictly, suggesting that " irreversibility " forecloses certain evolutionary pathways once broad forms have emerged: " example, once you adopt the ordinary body plan of a reptile, hundreds of options are forever closed, and future possibilities must unfold within the limits of inherited design.

Arguably the greatest of these funerary monuments is the bronze bas-relief that forms the Robert Gould Shaw Memorial on Boston Common, 1884 – 1897, which Saint-Gaudens labored on for 14 years ; even after the public version had been unveiled, he continued with further versions.

Baring Gould said that it derived its name from the shape assumed by the blocks on the summit that have been weathered into forms resembling the heads of dogs peering over the natural battlements.

Bruce Gould ultimately won the race, and the event is widely considered to be the birth of the modern " dirt late model " type of racing, which today is one of the most popular forms of racing on America's short tracks.

In 1968, he studied glass in Venice on a Fulbright Fellowship and received a Master of Fine Arts at the Rhode Island School of Design. In 1971, with the support of John Hauberg and Anne Gould Hauberg, Chihuly founded the Pilchuck Glass School near Stanwood, Washington.

Through 1996 – 2002 Gould was Vincent Astor Visiting Research Professor of Biology at New York University.

An example of the intellectual confusion about what heritability is and is not, is the statement: " If all environments were to become equal for everyone, heritability would rise to 100 percent because all remaining differences in IQ would necessarily be genetic in origin ", which Gould said is misleading, at best, and false, at worst.

" In the American Monthly Review magazine, Richard York and the sociologist Brett Clark praised the book's thematic concentration, saying that " rather than attempt a grand critique of all ' scientific ' efforts aimed at justifying social inequalities, Gould performs a well-reasoned assessment of the errors underlying a specific set of theories and empirical claims.

In a review of The Mismeasure of Man, Bernard Davis, professor of microbiology at Harvard Medical School, said that Gould erected a straw man argument based upon incorrectly defined key terms — specifically reification — which Gould furthered with a " highly selective " presentation of statistical data, all motivated more by politics than by science.

Tubman later worked with Colonel Robert Gould Shaw at the assault on Fort Wagner, reportedly serving him his last meal.
