	Lefalophodon: Joel Asaph Allen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Allen's recognition of variation within populations and integradation across geographic gradients helped to overturn the typological species concept current in the mid-1800s, setting out the principle that intergradating populations should be treated as subspecies instead of separate species.
		He established what was later called "Allen's rule," i.e., the observation that animals in cold climates had small extremities.
		One of the first leaders of the American conservationist movement, Allen began his campaign to protect American game species with a monograph on the bison and a series of related articles in 1876.

		Allen’s life and methods were not without controversy and as with many of the other tent evangelists, he was the recipient of much criticism and personal scrutiny.
		Allen later testified that as he left that meeting, he was filled with such conviction for the lost to receive God's miracle-working power that he asked his church board to allow him to start a radio program.
		Allen soon resigned from his church and began to hold revivals, and it would be during this point that Allen started his Healing Revival Campaigns.

	Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Joel Asaph Allen
		Joel Allen was one of America's leading naturalists during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
		He first came to international attention with his "On the Mammals and Winter Birds of East Florida," which included detailed data on character traits variation; this was one of the first important studies of its kind, and greatly buoyed the at that time still-new theory of natural selection.
		Allen himself, however, was a Lamarckian-leaning naturalist who believed that the physical environment, especially climate, was the most important force promoting evolutionary change.

		However, as early as 1878, Joel Asaph Allen, a biogeographer then at Harvard, bucked the establishment on this issue.
		He theorized that many mammals originated in the Arctic and were later driven south as the region cooled.
		Allen lacked the tools of modern research and his reasoning was somewhat different from that of Drs.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Allen's rule
		Allen's rule is a biological rule posited by Joel Asaph Allen in 1877.
		The theory behind Allen's Rule is that endothermic animals with the same volume may have differing surface areas, which will aid or impede their temperature regulation.
		In anthropology the contrast between the Masai and the Inuit people is often presented as an example of Allen's rule.

		In order to maintain a certain body temperature, heat is either contained by a well insulated coat or feathers, or, generated internally through energy created by the breakdown of food.
		Allen's rule suggests that species in the far North have a greater body mass per surface area ratio.
		In accordance with Allen's rule, The bear has a short tail and small ears that help reduce heat loss, as well as a relatively small head and long, tapered body to streamline it for swimming.

	The Influence of Physical Conditions in the Genesis of Species, by Joel Asaph Allen
		For many years the paper has been more cited than read, due to the obscurity of the periodical in which it was published (it lasted only one year).
		Allen himself was an important contributor to the development of evolutionary theory, as he did perhaps more than any other investigator of his time to document the actual facts of character variation within populations.
		The antlers of the deer, however, are merely seasonal appendages, being annually cast and renewed, and are thus entirely different physiologically from the horns of bovines, which retain a high degree of vitality throughout the life of the animal.
