	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Thomas Hunt Morgan
		Morgan was born in Lexington, Kentucky to Charlton Hunt Morgan and Ellen Key Howard.
		Morgan was in the later camp; his work with Driesch demonstrated that blastomeres isolated from sea urchin and ctenophore eggs could develop into complete larvae, contrary to the predictions (and experimental evidence) of Roux's supporters.
		Morgan's main lines of experimental work involved regenation and larval development; in each case, his goal was to distinguish internal and external causes to shed light on the Roux-Driesch debate.

		Morgan was born in 1866 in Lexington, Kentucky, nephew of the flamboyant General John Hunt Morgan who was nicknamed "The Thunderbolt of the Confederacy" for his swashbuckling exploits during the Civil War.
		Morgan often jokingly said that he did three kinds of experiments: those that were foolish, those that were damn foolish, and those that were worse than that.
		As testament to his humility, Morgan reversed his position on Mendelian principles, and in 1915 with his students A. Sturtevant, H. Muller, and C. Bridges, produced the fundamental genetics textbook The Mechanism of Mendelian Heredity, reconciling all of genetics to the physical array of genes on chromosomes and to the behavior of chromosomes.

	Reminiscences of T.H. Morgan by A.H. Sturtevant
		Morgan succeeded Wilson as chairman of the department at Bryn Mawr in 1890, and in 1904 Wilson persuaded him to accept a professorship at Columbia.
		Morgan’s first paper on Drosophila was published in 1910 and the first paper of significance that he published on it was also in 1910.
		Morgan’s objectives, what he was trying to get at in general in his biological work was to produce mechanistic interpretations of biological phenomena.

	Thomas Hunt Morgan - MSN Encarta
		Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866-1945), American biologist and geneticist, who discovered how genes are transmitted through the action of chromosomes, confirming the laws of heredity (see Mendel's Laws) of the Austrian botanist Gregor Mendel and laying the foundation for modern experimental genetics.
		Discovering also that genes for many character traits are arranged in a linear fashion on each chromosome, Morgan and his coworkers created linear chromosome maps in which each gene is assigned to a specific position.
		Morgan continued his experimental work, demonstrating in Theory of the Gene (1926) that genes are held together in different linkage groups, and that alleles (pairs of genes affecting the same trait) interchange, or cross over, in the same linkage group.

	1910 - Thomas Hunt Morgan
		Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866-1945) establishes the chromosomal theory of heredity.
		Thomas Hunt Morgan, an embryologist who had turned to research in heredity, in 1907 began to extensively breed the common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster.
		In particular, Morgan began to entertain the possibility that association of eye color and sex in fruit flies had a physical and mechanistic basis in the chromosomes.

		Thomas Hunt Morgan began experimenting with Drosophilia, the fruit fly, in 1908.
		Morgan then bred these male and female siblings, which resulted in some offspring with red eyes and some with white eyes.
		From these and other results, Morgan established a theory of heredity that was based on the idea that genes, arranged on the chromosomes, carry hereditary factors that are expressed in different combinations when coupled with the genes of a mate.

		Because of this work, Morgan was awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the chromosomal mechanism by which traits are passed to offspring through interaction of genes.
		Morgan then bred the white-eyed mutant male to a red-eyed wild type and found that white-coloured eyes are inherited in a special way.
		These findings formed Morgan's most important idea: the chromosomal theory of heredity which postulates that genes are situated on chromosomes and they could be sex-linked, that is inherited together if on the same chromosome and inherited separately if located on different chromosomes.

	Thomas Hunt Morgan at Columbia University (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Morgan was trained as a developmental biologist, receiving his Ph.D. in 1890 from the Johns Hopkins University for work on the development of sea spiders, a specialized group of invertebrate animals, and in 1891 he accepted a teaching post at Bryn Mawr College.
		Morgan deduced that a male must inherit the X chromosome from his mother and Y from his father, and he immediately spotted a correlation between these sex-linked chromosomes and the segregation of the factors determining eye color.
		The Nobel Prize recognized Morgan's two fundamental scientific contributions: the development of the chromosome theory of heredity, a theory of the gene that proved to be the driving biological concept of the twentieth century, and the creation of a new biology based on a rigorous experimental method.

		Morgan was interested in evolution, but skeptical of Darwinism, which he perceived to be too speculative and not grounded in observable phenomena.

		John Wesley Hunt purchased the lot early in 1814 and later that year probably built the main part of the house with an attractive second-story porch on the Second Street side.
		Hunt was Kentucky's first millionaire, the grandfather of General John Hunt Morgan, and the great-grandfather of Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan, the first Kentuckian to win a Nobel Prize.

	Heredity and Sex By Thomas Hunt Morgan
		Around the turn of the century, scientist’s interest in sex determination intensified. Hundreds of papers written by dozens of scientist were published during 1890-1910. These papers fell into three main clusters, which capitalized on three different approaches to the question on how individuals come to have one sex or the other.
		In Morgan’s Heredity and Sex he attempts to point out the bearing of cytological studies on heredity, and of the study of heredity on the analysis of the germinal materials.

		The Driesch-Morgan Collection consists of letters written by Thomas Hunt Morgan to Driesch between 1893 and 1915, with one letter from 1933, relating to their work on the embryology of sea urchins and theories of development.
		Between 1891 and 1900, Driesch worked at the International Zoological Station in Naples, Italy, where he met performed a renowned series of experiments on sea urchin embryos that conclusively demonstrated that the fate of a cell is not determined in the early developmental stages and, in 1896, he became the first to demonstrate embryonic induction.
		At Naples he also met Thomas Hunt Morgan, the young American embryologist and soon to be geneticist, with whom he maintained a long correspondence.

		Most of the "fly room" research during its glory years in the 1910s and 20s was focused on using linkage data to map genes onto the chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster, a completely novel research agenda that replaced the earlier, neo-Mendelian emphasis on creating quasi-chemical genetic formulas.
		Foe of Osborn, who had gotten him hired at Columbia; Morgan did flirt with the eugenics movement in the 1910s, but he opposed it during its ascendancy in the 1920s.

		Prominent among their correspondents are George H. Shull, Thomas Hunt Morgan, A. Sturtevant, and H. Muller.
		Centered largely on Drosophila, the correspondence from Morgan, Muller, and Sturtevant is somewhat less extensive, but nevertheless interesting for reconstructing aspects of that research as well as the relations between the department at Berkeley and the groups at Columbia and later Cal Tech.
		In 1926, Morgan was one of those who intervened with Babcock to secure a position for John Belling, recovering from a bout of "acute melancholia."
