Autorenporträt
Walter Holbrook Gaskell (1847–1914) was a distinguished British physiologist and scholar, whose work significantly contributed to the understanding of the autonomic nervous system and the physiology of the heart. Although Gaskell's enduring reputation is primarily based on his research in physiology, his scholarly pursuits were not limited to scientific experiments; he also ventured into contemplations on evolutionary biology, which culminated in his book 'The Origin of Vertebrates.' In this work, Gaskell postulated evolutionary theories, which, although not widely accepted at their time, showcased his ability to cross-disciplinary boundaries and engage with the larger scientific debates of his era. With a distinct literary style characterized by meticulous observation and a commitment to empirical evidence, Gaskell's scientific writings also hinted at a broader philosophical engagement with the mechanisms of life, reflecting the intellectual rigor of his time. His contributions have been honored by his election as a Fellow of the Royal Society and by the lasting impact he made on both physiology and the history of ideas concerning animal evolution.
