John Maynard Smith

Evolutional Biologist

Professor Maynard Smith has made a groundbreaking contribution to the establishment of a unified understanding of fundamental issues in evolutionary biology, including social activities of organisms and the essence of the evolution of sexual reproduction, by proposing the idea of the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS). In doing so, he has not only immensely contributed to the development of biological sciences,but he has also had major impact on other disciplines including economics and politics.
