Why Is Ralph Works Chaney Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Ralph Works Chaney was an American paleobotanist. Early life Chaney was born on August 24, 1890, in Brainerd, Illinois. He attended Hyde Park Academy High School, and began to cultivate his interest in ornithology. He became an avid bird watcher and collected a series of bird eggs and skins. After his graduation, Chaney briefly moved to South Dakota before enrolling at the University of Chicago in the fall of 1908. It was here where his interests shifted from ornithology to botany, and eventually paleobotany. He earned his B.S. degree in geology from the University of Chicago in 1912.
