Nicolaas Rupke

Nicolaas Rupke is studying the history of the non-Darwinian tradition in evolutionary biology, which ranges from early nineteenth-century naturalism and the Humboldtian conception of cosmic complexification to recent notions of self-organisation, evo-devo, and convergence. His project will apply a “geography of knowledge” approach, situating conflicting views in their national and sociopolitical spaces.
