John
Beatty is Co-investigator for the Perspectives
on Molecular Evolution site. He is a historian and philosopher
of biology in the Department of Philopsophy at the University
of British Columbia. He is currently working on the
history of genetics and population genetics since World
War II, in the context of cold war and atomic age concerns
about the short-term and evolutionary impacts of radiation-induced
mutation. His current philosophical project has to do
with the commonly drawn distinction between the "historical"
and the "exact" sciences.
