Why Is Jody Hey Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Jody Hey is an evolutionary biologist at Temple University. In the 1980s and 1990s he did research on natural selection and species divergence in fruit flies . More recently he has worked on the development of methods for studying evolutionary divergence, on the divergence of cichlid fishes from Lake Malawi, on chimpanzeess and on human populations. His research on divergence and speciation also lead him to study the difficulties of identifying species.
