| Introduction | yesterday i decided i would become the world's first biologist. this is seemingly impossible. after all, there's already been a first biologist. in fact, i think it might be aristotle himself that holds the title. how can i be the first biologist if the placement has come and gone? what's more, most of my childhood heroes have been biologists of one fashion or another: linnaeus, lamarck, darwin, mendel, buckland, mantell, owen, watson, crick, dawkins, horner. how can i rightly call myself the first biologist without casting a pall upon my youth's idols? i rationalize it in the same way i rationalize my displeasure with capitalization. i know it's incorrect. the grammar drilled into me since pre-pubescence tells me that some things deserved to be capitalized. without capitalization, a paper is lacking, a paragraph is fault, a sentence is wrong. but by sheer force of will, i do not capitalize. i resist its fastidious urge. instead, i preserve the equality of words, by not capitalizing any of them. likewise, i think it unfair to call the spot of world's first true biologist taken. as to what "true" means... |
