Zoology: A natural history of natural historians
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 December 2011
Extract
‘The appreciation and study of the Natural Sciences appear to have been of tardy growth in the North of Scotland’ (Traill 1906).
The origins of the study of zoology in the Universities of Scotland are reminiscent of evolutionary events. A shadowy beginning, periods of apparent stagnation, sudden transition into more active states, and latterly, a reversion and regrouping under modern financial pressures. Not a smooth progression, but rather a lurching progress and cladistic development!
