	Gregory Bateson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bateson was the son of the distinguished geneticist William Bateson.
		Bateson is most famous for developing the "Double Bind" theory of schizophrenia together with one of the world's leading theoreticians in Communication theory Paul Watzlawick, his colleague at the Mental Research Institute of Palo Alto, and for being Margaret Mead's husband.
		Bateson did not have much respect for contemporary academic scientific standards of writing, his works have often the form of an essay rather than a scientific paper, he used lot of metaphors and his choice of sources tended to be unusual (for example citing old poets and ignoring recent scientific sources).

	William Bateson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bateson was born in Whitby, educated at Rugby School and St John's College, Cambridge, he popularised the work of Gregor Mendel in the English-speaking world.
		Bateson became involved in a bitter dispute with the biometricians led by his former teacher Walter Frank Raphael Weldon and by Karl Pearson.
		Bateson was the first to name research on heredity with "genetics" from the Greek word "genetikos" (the produced) in 1906, three years before Wilhelm Johannsen used the word "gene" for the units of hereditary information.

		William Bateson brought Mendel's laws to the attention of English scientists.
		Bateson is credited with coining the terms "genetics," "allelomorphs" (later shortened to allele), "zygote," "heterozygote" and "homozygote." In 1908, as a Professor of Biology at Cambridge, Bateson helped establish the Cambridge School of Genetics.
		Bateson left Cambridge in 1910 to accept the Directorship of the John Innes Horticultural Institute at Merton.

	William Bateson Collection, American Philosophical Society
		One of the principle figures of turn of the century anti-Darwinian evolutionism, and an early and ardent advocate of Mendelian genetics, William Bateson was professor at Cambridge University and the John Innes Horticultural Institute.
		Bateson's most thorough statement of his evolutionary theories at the time, Materials for the Study of Evolution (1894), was typically exhaustive and forcefully argued, and while it won few converts to either the vibratory theory or discontinuity, it established its author as one the leading anti-Darwinians on the period.
		The largest collections of the papers of William Bateson are housed in the archives of the John Innes Institute and in the University Library, Cambridge University.

		Bateson's emphasis on discontinuity led him to appreciate the mutation theory of Dutch botanist Hugo de Vries.
		Bateson's collaboration with L. Doncaster, E. Saunders, and R. Punnett confirmed that Mendel's laws applied to animals as well as plants.
		Bateson and Punnett's result was unexpected and seemingly inexplicable.

		As a zoology undergraduate at Cambridge, Bateson focused on morphology, the study of shape; comparing how different animals develop from embryos was then believed to hold the key to evolution.
		Bateson argued that Balanoglossus was related to the chordates, the first indication of the theory - now generally accepted - that chordates evolved from primitive echinoderm.
		However, the notion that characters were passed on by waves rather than particles stayed with Bateson for most of his life, and he resisted later evidence pointing to chromosomes being the matter of heredity.

		Bateson's argument in Naven, that knowledge belonged to a hierarchy of classes, is variously elaborated and elucidated in most of his later work.
		For Bateson, the pattern which connects is "primarily a dance of interacting parts and [is] only secondarily pegged down by various sorts of physical limits and by those limits which organisms characteristically impose" (14).
		Bateson's 'form and pattern' epistemology is teleologically oriented to address the survival of living species, which ultimately rests on the ability to change.

		Bateson’s pre-1946 material may be found in the South Pacific Ethnographic/Margaret Mead Archive of the Library of Congress.
		In general, the Archive may be said to contain virtually all surviving Bateson materials dating from the end of the 1940s to the end of his life, the only significant known exception being some correspondence between Bateson and Mead presently in the possession of Mary Catherine Bateson.

	The Monk in the Garden
		When Bateson boarded in Cambridge, he had no idea that in the next sixty minutes he would read a paper that would change the course not only of his own career, but of mankind’s understanding of its place in the great cacophony of nature.
		What brought Bateson to that journal article on the morning of May 8, 1900 was the work of three other scientists, one of them the subject of his lecture that very afternoon.
		But now Bateson was suddenly more interested in describing the work of this unknown monk, whose findings resonated so beautifully across the span of thirty- five years and the eight hundred miles separating London from the hilly recesses of southern Moravia.

	all things William
		The history of science is not a mere record of isolated discoveries; it is a narrative of the conflict of two contending powers, the expansive force of the human intellect on one side, and the compression arising from traditionary faith and human interest on the other.
		Science must constantly be reminded that her purposes are not the only purposes and that the order of uniform causation which she has use for may be enveloped in a wider order.
		The very fact that the subject was so generally familiar, and yet so little was accurately known about it, made it the more enticing; there were plenty of descriptions from which to choose, and yet most of them were so hazy that their support could be claimed for many varying theories.

		William Bateson was one of the pivotal figures in the early history of genetics, having championed the promise of Mendelism to unravel the secrets of heredity.
		Bateson turned to botanists, zoologists, and physiologists associated with Newnham College, Cambridge, for critical assistance in advancing his research program at a time when Mendelism was not yet recognized as a legitimate field of study.
		Cambridge women carried out a series of breeding experiments in a number of plant and animal species between 1902 and 1910, the results of which provided crucial evidence that both supported and extended Mendel's laws of heredity.
