Extract

The Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, held a conference on Macroevolution, October 16–18; it was organized by J. Cracraft, J. Levinton, N. Eldredge and D. M. Raup. The nature of the meeting called to mind the 1946 Princeton conference on Genetics, Paleontology and Evolution (which resulted in the book of the same name1), and indeed 3 members of that conference spoke again, 34 years later, in 1980—Sewall Wright, G. Ledyard Stebbins, and Bobb Schaeffer. However, no book is planned this time.
