Conrad Hal Waddington was a prominent British scientist known for his expertise in developmental biology, paleontology, genetics, embryology, and philosophy. He made foundational contributions to systems biology, epigenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. Waddington’s theory of genetic assimilation sparked debates among evolutionary biologists regarding Lamarckian inheritance. In addition to his scientific work, he was also interested in poetry, painting, and leftist political perspectives. In his book “The Scientific Attitude,” he explored topics like central planning and endorsed Marxism as a significant scientific philosophy.
