Ernst Mayr en 1994

Ernst Walter Mayr (Kempten, Alemanya; 5 de juliol de 1904 – Bedford, Massachusetts, Estats Units; 3 de febrer de 2005) fon un dels més notables biòlecs evolutius del sigle XX. Fon, ademés un taxònom en molt de renom, explorador dels tròpics, ornitòlec, historiador de la ciència i naturalista. La seua obra contribuí a la revolució conceptual que portà a la síntesis moderna de la teoria de l'evolució i al desenroll del concepte biològic d'espècie.
