Eiseley, Loren Corey (1907–1977)


Loren Eiseley
Holder of the chair of anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania and lyrical science writer who echoed a view, expressed earlier by Wallace and Matthew, that extraterrestrial life must be morphologically diverse:1
Every creature alive is the product of a unique history. The statistical probability of its precise reduplication on another planet is so small as to be meaningless.
