	Evolution: Library: George Gaylord Simpson: Natural Selection and the Fossil Record
		As one of the founders of the "modern synthesis" of evolution, paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson argued that the fossil record supports Darwin's theory that natural selection acting on random variation in a population is the driving force behind evolution.
		Simpson was among the first to use mathematical methods in paleontology, and he also took into account newly discovered genetic evidence for evolution in his study of paleontology.
		Simpson argued that the evolution of mammals, as seen in their fossilized remains, fit perfectly well with the new mechanisms of population genetics being studied at the time.

		The vertebrate paleontologist and evolutionary biologist George Gaylord Simpson (1902-1984) was one of the seminal figures in the emergence of the Modern of Neo-Darwinian Synthesis during the mid-twentieth century.
		Simpson's Tempo and Mode in Evolution, in particular, was a critical work in catalysing what Julian Huxley called the Modern Synthesis in evolutionary biology, the wedding diachronic data derived from paleontological study of the fossil record with neontological field data, and the empirical data of contemporary genetics.
		Simpson's views on continental drift and biogeography changed radically with the accumulation of new data on sea floor spreading in the 1960s.

		Simpson had joined the American Museum of Natural History as assistant curator of vertebrate paleontology in 1927, at the invitation of director Henry Fairfield Osborn, who had a knack for picking future "stars" in natural history.
		Instead, Simpson showed the complex and diverse branching of the horse's ancient relatives, not only through time, but over geographica area, as early populations pushed into various habitats, adapting first to forests, then to open grasslands.
		A pioneer in tackling the problem of rates of evolution, Simpson was impressed with the pattern of long periods of stability in species, interspersed with relatively rapid change.

		Simpson was arguably the first evolutionary paleontologist to combine descriptive taxonomy with the modern approaches of genetics and statistical analysis.
		Despite his brilliance Simpson was a difficult person to know; Laporte addresses the nature of Simpson's interpersonal problems with colleagues during his life.
