Problematic “Idiosyncrasies”: Rediscovering the Historical Context of D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson's Science of Form
D’Arcy Thompson has often been portrayed as a loner. His science of form has frequently been labeled anachronistic, idiosyncratic, and unconnected to his contemporary biology. This article aims to challenge this interpretation. Thompson's representation as a loner did not lie in the idiosyncrasies of his science, but in our own historiography. Through the use of unedited archival sources, this study shows that Thompson's biology was well-connected to an international research program – a program mainly shared by developmental biologists, physiologists, and morphologists. In addition, this article also aims to propose a new interpretation of Thompson's On Growth and Form. Drawing on his private correspondence and published sources, the paper re-contextualizes the contents and conclusions of Thompson's seminal work. We will see that Thompson defended a particular kind of organismal biology. The bio-science he supported stemmed not only from Aristotle's zoology or Pythagorean mathematics, but had many allies among twentieth-century naturalists.

\"Boredom, which comes out quite quickly, if that's left to lapse, that'll be there in adulthood as well but also rebelling, feeling frustrated or getting angry with things and one of the big things we see is complete withdrawal, isolation,\" he said. \"So when they're getting to a stage where their brain's shutting down or they're not getting the support they need, it's fairly common to see them just stop, just withdraw completely.\" \"So we're not teaching astronomers how to play a concerto, or musicians all about pure mathematics, it's actually about what they need to learn and what they want to learn.\"
