An Interview with John Maynard Smith
An Interview with John Maynard Smith
John Maynard Smith (1920–2004) was one of the great evolutionary biologists, making many important contributions, including the application of game theory to understanding evolutionary strategies, and a clear definition of the major transitions in the history of life. This chapter presents an edited transcript of an interview conducted on 21 May 2003, in his office in the John Maynard Smith Building at the University of Sussex. Maynard provides insight into the spirit of science immediately after the Second World War as well as into the early influence of cybernetics on developmental and evolutionary biology.
