Cyril Dean Darlington was an English biologist recognized for his research on chromosomal crossover, inheritance, and evolution. He served as the Sherardian Professor of Botany at the University of Oxford from 1953 to 1971. While his work was influential in the modern evolutionary synthesis, Darlington’s beliefs on race, eugenics, and social Darwinism have been met with criticism, with some viewing him as a proponent of antisemitism and racism.
