Talk:George Romanes

Untitled

The text is about "coined the term" (probably "neo-Darwinism") hence this article should be split into a bio and the coined term.

No, disagree. The article is about much more than the coining of a term. But if the article gets longer, a separation into 'Life' and 'Work' would follow naturally. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:58, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Romanes and Religion

It is actually doubtful whether Romanes eventually embraced Christianity again. His posthumous papers are not entirely clear on the matter. Historiographical sources other than McGrew's may be referred to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Movinwes (talk • contribs) 14:45, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

The article as presently worded contradicts itself on the question whether Romanes returned to Christianity at the end of his life. 68.3.215.199 (talk) 16:56, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

His positions

The text is inconsistent in telling us what professional positions he held, when. In the Accomplishments section it mentioned that he was a Professor at the University of Edinburgh. Professor of what? Then it mentions that he established a lecture series later, when he was a Professor at Cambridge University. It never actually mentions his becoming that. And again, Professor of what? Music? I think that he deserves better than this. Felsenst (talk) 21:50, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Mention of Romanes in Forbes article

I came across a few paragraphs mentioning Romanes & Neo-Darwinism in an article portraying Denis Noble:

• Morris, Andréa (2024-06-14). "Evolution May Be Purposeful And It's Freaking Scientists Out". Forbes. Retrieved 2024-06-15.

It seems that Nobel discusses Romanes in multiple publications:

• "Denis+Noble"+"George+Romanes ""Denis Noble" "George Romanes" search". Google Scholar. Retrieved 2024-06-15.

A Google search on the both of them returns almost three dozen results:

• ""Denis Noble" "George Romanes"". Google Search. 2024-06-14. Retrieved 2024-06-15.

I am busy with other editing matters & this is the first that I have heard of Romanes, so I am hoping that someone more familiar with him might look at these newer citations & determine what could be useful for the article. Peaceray (talk) 19:58, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
