Elie Metchnikoff (1845-1916), winner of the Nobel Prize in 1907 for
his contributions to immunology, was first a comparative zoologist,
who, working in the wake of Darwin's On the Origin of Species, made
seminal contributions to evolutionary biology. His work in
comparative embryology is best known in regard to the debates with
Ernst Haeckel concerning animal genealogical relationships and the
theoretical origins of metazoans. But independent of those
polemics, Metchnikoff developed his phagocytosis theory' of
immunity as a result of his early comparative embryology research,
and only in examining the full breadth of his work do we appreciate
his signal originality. Metchnikoff's scientific papers have
remained largely untranslated into English. Assembled here,
annotated and edited, are the key evolutionary biology papers
dating from Metchnikoff's earliest writings (1865) to the texts of
his mature period of the 1890s, which will serve as an invaluable
resource for those interested in the historical development of
evolutionary biology.
