How do researchers determine evolutionary ancestry among species? The early twentieth-century German biologist Willi Hennig articulated principles and methods that are still entirely relevant today. Hennig’s work led to clear and objective criteria for determining evolutionary ancestry. Andrew Brower recounts Hennig’s life and contributions as the father of phylogenetic systematics.

The early twentieth century Chinese thinker, Zhang Taiyan is most famous for his role as a radical anti-Manchu propagandist as well as being a major proponent of national learning. However, he was many things to different readers: a scholar, a revolutionary, a Buddhist, and a pan-Asianist. Recently, scholars have turned to his pan-Asianist writings and his Buddhist critique of capitalist modernity. Continuing the above trend, the contributor brings India and China together through Zhang Taiyan by examining his writings on India, which are often embedded in his works on anti-colonialism. Then, he turns to Zhang’s writings on Buddhism, through which he constructs a critique of imperialist epistemologies and specifically deconstructs the Hegelian idea of history as progress. He contends that the critique of colonialism and linear narratives of history are two sides of Zhang’s use of India in his writings, which continue to be relevant today.

Three letters from the Sheina Marshall archive at the former University Marine Biological Station Millport (UMBSM) reveal the pivotal significance of Sheina Marshall's father, Dr John Nairn Marshall, behind the scheme planned by Glasgow University's Regius Professor of Zoology, John Graham Kerr. He proposed to build an alternative marine station facility on Cumbrae's adjacent island of Bute in the Firth of Clyde in the early years of the twentieth century to cater predominantly for marine researchers.

The Mind

Friedrich Nietzsche's influence on Isadora Duncan's work, in particular his idea of the Dionysian, has been widely discussed, especially in regard to her later work. What has been left underdeveloped in critical examinations of her work, however, is his influence on her earlier choreographic work, which she defended in a famous speech held in 1903 called The Dance of the Future. While commentators often describe this speech as ‘Nietzschean’, Duncan's autobiography suggests that she only studied Nietzsche's work after this speech. I take this incongruity as a starting point to explore the connections between her speech and Nietzsche's work, in particular his Thus Spoke Zarathustra. I argue that in subject and language Duncan's speech resembles Nietzsche's in important ways. This article will draw attention to the ways in which Duncan takes her cues from Nietzsche in bringing together seemingly conflicting ideas of religion and an overturning of morality; Nietzsche's notion of eternal recurrence and the teleology present in his idea of the Übermensch; and a renegotiation of the body's relation to the mind. In doing so, this article contributes not only to scholarship on Duncan's early work but also to discussions of Nietzsche's reception in the early twentieth century. Moreover, the importance Duncan ascribes to the body in dance and expression also asks for a new understanding of Nietzsche's own way of expressing his philosophy.
