| | | Title: | Theodosius Dobzhansky Papers
| | | | Type: | Collection | | | | Format: | Manuscripts | | | | Language: | English | | | | Dates: | Circa 1917-1975 | | | | Extent: | 12.25 linear feet; circa 9,000 items | | | | Abstract: | Correspondence, 1927-1975; 54 notebooks and diaries, circa 1917-1975. Dobzhansky was one of the foremost population geneticists of this century. His studies on genetics and race, on race and behavior, on culture, cultural achievement, and genetics, on nature and nurture in human heredity, and on human evolution are extremely important for social biology and its relation to both cultural and physical anthropology. Particularly interesting are Dobzhansky's writings on the origin and significance of human races, and on anthropology and the natural sciences. The Dobzhansky papers include a manuscript copy of his last book, Human Culture: A Moment in Evolution (published posthumously in 1983); lectures on "Man in the Light of Evolutionary Biology;" correspondence with numerous scientists (Ashley Montagu, L. C. Dunn, Ernst Mayr, E. W. Caspari, Frederick Osborn, and many others) on social biology and race; and papers relating to symposia, books, articles, speeches, and research topics. There is also Dobzhansky correspondence in the M. Demerec, L. C. Dunn, E. W. Caspari, A. F. Blakeslee, Frederick Osborn, F. P. Rous, and related collections. See also the description in the Bentley Glass Guide to Genetics Collections. | | | | Source: | Theodosius Dobzhansky Papers (B D65) | | | | |

They include Heredity, Race and Society with Theodore Dobzhansky in 1946; Biology and Race in 1951; and Heredity and Evolution in Human Populations, 1958. His papers contain the manuscript for a 1960 revision of Race and Biology (sic); letters to Franz Boas, 13 June 1934 to 21 October 1941, on the characteristics of races and genetic versus environmental factors; correspondence and notebooks concerning a genetic study of the Jewish community in Rome; personal correspondence (1945-1955) with Gunnar Dahlberg, professor of race biology, Uppsala, Sweden; and communication with Roger Pineau of the U. S. State Dept. regarding an UNESCO conference on the "Biological Aspects of Race" in 1964. There is extensive correspondence between Dunn and many of the foremost geneticists of this century on many topics.
