Quote_1.png
Ernst Mayr
"All I claimed was that when a drastic change occurs, it occurs in a relatively small and isolated population."

Change

Quote_1.png
Ernst Mayr
"I had found again and again that the most aberrant population of a species - often having reached species rank, and occasionally classified even as a separate genus - occurred at a peripheral location, indeed usually at the most isolated peripheral location."

Population

Quote_1.png
Ernst Mayr
"The major novelty of my theory was its claim that the most rapid evolutionary change does not occur in widespread, populous species, as claimed by Most geneticists, but in small founder populations."

Change

Quote_1.png
Ernst Mayr
"As a consequence, geneticists described evolution simply as a change in gene frequencies in populations, totally ignoring the fact that evolution consists of the two simultaneous but quite separate phenomena of adaptation and diversification."

Change

Quote_1.png
Ernst Mayr
"Living in an entirely different physical as well as biotic environment, such a population would have unique opportunities to enter new niches and to select novel adaptive pathways."

Environment

Quote_1.png
Ernst Mayr
"New gene pools are generated in every generation, and evolution takes place because the successful individuals produced by these gene pools give rise to the next generation."

Success

Quote_1.png
Ernst Mayr
"In those early years in New York when I was a stranger in a big city, it was the companionship and later friendship which I was offered in the Linnean Society that was the most important thing in my life."

Friendship

Quote_1.png
Ernst Mayr
"Evolution thus is merely contingent on certain processes articulated by Darwin: variation and selection."

Evolution

Quote_1.png
Ernst Mayr
"Life is simply the reification of the process of living."

Life

Quote_1.png
Ernst Mayr
"According to the concept of transformational evolution, first clearly articulated by Lamarck, evolution consists of the gradual transformation of organisms from one condition of existence to another."
