		Maynard Smith was instrumental in the application of game theory to evolution and theorised on other problems such as the evolution of sex and signalling theory.
		John Maynard Smith was born in London, the son of a surgeon but following his father's death in 1928 the family moved to Exmoor, where he became interested in natural history.
		Maynard Smith published a book entitled The Evolution of Sex which explored in mathematical terms, the notion of the "two-fold cost of sex".

	Evolutionary biologist John Maynard Smith dies
		Maynard Smith was remarkable for the breadth of his contributions to biology, including his radical application of game theory to understanding evolutionary strategies, and his clear definition of the major transitions in the history of life.
		Maynard Smith was always enthusiastic about new data sources and continued to be a driving force in the use of molecular data to answer biological questions.
		Maynard Smith's colleagues at the Centre for the Study of Evolution are feeling the loss of a dear friend and energetic colleague, whose knowledge, enthusiasm and curiosity enlivened discussion, whether in the office, in the field, or in the pub.

	John Maynard Smith
		John Maynard Smith was an eminent evolutionary biologist, classical geneticist and author whose work deeply impacted the way scientists and lay persons understood basic biological principles.
		Although Maynard Smith developed an early interest in naturalism (especially bird watching and the work of J.B.S. Haldane) he originally trained as an engineer and, after being turned away from the army in WWII (because of faulty eyesight), he applied his degree by designing military aircraft.
		Maynard Smith is remembered by students and colleagues as “a lovely man” passionately wielding his energy and sharp intellect in the pursuit of truth, seemingly undaunted by the forces of time that wear down other men (even after diagnosis with cancer), and always ready to share his time and critique and a bit of humor.

		John's socialist leanings were well known and the five Deans gently persuaded him that they would only agree to invite the Minister if the Dean for Biology confined his remarks at dinner to those of an innocuous nature such as 'Pass the salt, please'.
		John was still wearing the same pair of pants that he had hiked in all day and they were still slightly damp (the west coast is often called the wet coast).
		John was complaining that the biology curriculum had become too abstract, to the extent that the elementary natural history that we took for granted was no longer taught.

		Best known for his introduction of game theory into evolutionary theory, and for his pioneering work on the evolution of sex, he was not just a theoretician.
		His leftward sympathies never abated, but he was as unflinching and honest in his private critiques of shoddy leftist thought as he was of both creationist nonsense and misguided Darwinian enthusiasms.
		While other authors have famously celebrated the joy of cooking, or of sex, Maynard Smith celebrated the joy of understanding.

	Gene Expression: Why Stephen J Gould was wrong
		Now it is not very hard to find out, if you spend a little while reading in evolution, that Gould is the John Kenneth Galbraith of his subject.
		That is, he is a wonderful writer who is bevolved by literary intellectuals and lionized by the media because he does not use algebra or difficult jargon.
		This is serious, because if you think that Gould's ideas represent the cutting edge of evolutionary theory (as I myself did until about a year and a half ago), you have an almost completely misguided view of where the field is and even of what the issues are.
