Jim Endersby

About the Author

Jim Endersby is a historian of science whose research explores the cultural and intellectual history of biology in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His work examines how scientific ideas about evolution, heredity, and adaptation were shaped by broader social and imaginative contexts. Endersby is particularly interested in the ways that scientists and writers constructed visions of biological possibility during a period of rapid disciplinary change. He draws on a wide range of archival sources to illuminate the interplay between empirical research and speculative thought in the life sciences.
