چکیده
Jim Valentine went to college on the GI Bill (a WWII veterans privilege) and has been there ever since; at present he is Professor of Integrative Biology, Emeritus, at UC Berkeley. His early research was on what is now called macroecology, working with fossil marine faunas, leading to a book, Evolutionary Paleoecology of the Marine Biosphere. Those studies continue today, chiefly with colleagues Dave Jablonski and Kaustuv Roy. More recently he became fascinated with the power of findings in molecular developmental biology to explain, or at least to provide a general understanding of, the sorts of morphological patterns found in the fossil record; his latest book, On the Origin of Phyla, examines the events surrounding the Cambrian explosion and their implications for interpreting developmental evolution. His chief avocation is collecting as many editions of the works of Charles Darwin as he can afford.
