When it comes to the history of evolutionary theory, a whiggish image could look something like [the figure below]
I leave it to the readers to come up with a female version (including, for example, Maria Sibylla Merian, Rosalind Franklin, Barbara McClintock, Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard).
Arranging July's posts that I found interesting or entertaining as well as the few submitted by others according to a Whig history of evolutionary theory in the following is purely ornamental and does, of course, not imply any whiggishness on the side of the contributors.
If you want to host a Carnival of Evolution please contact Bjørn Østman. Bjørn is always looking for someone to host the Carnival of Evolution. He would prefer someone who has not hosted before but repeat hosts are more than welcome right now! Bjørn is threatening to name YOU as host even if you don't volunteer! Contact him at the Carnival of Evolution blog. You can send articles directly to him or you can submit your articles at Carnival of Evolution although you now have to register to post a submission. Please alert Bjørn or the upcoming host if you see an article that should be included in next month's. You don't have to be the author to nominate a post.

In the picture, who's the fly supposed to be? Bateson?

DeleteIsn't that Jeff Goldblum?
DeleteOne of the few instances where (IMHO) the remake was better than the original.
DeleteBut then I'm a David Cronenberg fan going back to when I first saw Scanners.
Blasphemy, Steve.
DeleteIt would be funny to have a picture of Bateson with, e g., eyeballs in the roof of his mouth, or legs for antennae.
Actually, Goldblum as Brundlefly looks very much like a Discovery Institute researcher: a white coat, a strange mask with goggles, and a fake lab backdrop -- you know the style.
DeleteOops, I mean Hedison as the original Fly.
DeleteDiogenes,
Deletefound a crayon drawing of Bateson with strange thumbs though (-: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bateson@72.jpg)
If "Gold", then "-schmidt," not "-blum." :-)
