Correction to: Maria Santesmases, "Women in Early Human Cytogenetics: An Essay on a Gendered History of Chromosome Imaging," in the special issue, "Heredity and Evolution in an Ibero-American Context," Perspectives on Science (2020) 28 (2): 170–200. https://doi.org/10.1162/posc_a_00337.In this article, on page 177, in the sentence beginning: "Among these was Barbara McClintock," the date of McClintock's publication should read "1930" (not 1929). On page 178, the caption of Figure 4 should read: "From McClintock 1930, pp. 792, 793; reproduced with permission …." To the References, on page 197, should be added: "McClintock, Barbara. 1930. "A cytological demonstration of the location of an interchange between two non-homologous chromosomes of Zea mays." Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 16 (12): 791–796."

The 1909 Darwin Celebration

Isis (2006)

Marsha L. Richmond

In June 1909, scientists and dignitaries from 167 different countries gathered in Cambridge to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species. The event was one of the most magnificent commemorations in the annals of science. Delegates gathered within the cloisters of Cambridge University not only to honor the "hero" of evolution but also to reassess the underpinnings of Darwinism at a critical juncture. With the mechanism of natural selection increasingly under attack, evolutionary theory was in disarray. Against this backdrop, biologists weighed the impact of several new developments—the rediscovery of Mendel's laws of heredity, de Vriesian mutation theory, and the linkage of sex‐cell division (recently named "meiosis") to the mechanism of heredity. The 1909 Darwin celebration thus represents a significant watershed in the history of modern biology that allows historians to assess the status of evolution prior to the advent of the chromosome theory of genetics.

Women in the Historiography of Biology

Historiographies of science (2021)

Marsha L. Richmond

Women no less than men have been drawn to the study of nature, but only after they were given access to higher education were they able to participate in science in greater numbers. The historian's gaze has accordingly been transfixed on the accomplishments of men and a few extraordinarily talented women. This began to change in the 1970s when a new wave of women scholars and feminists turned to recovering the accomplishments of individuals, exploring opportunities and hindrances to women's participation in science, and identifying sexist ideologies and gendered assumptions within biology that influence not only women's ability to do science, but also broader social, economic, and political rights of women. The result is a rich body of literature on women's contributions to, and a feminist critique of, biology.
