Frederic Wood Jones (23. Januar 1879 in London – 29.September 1954) war ein britischer Anatom und Anthropologe.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Leben und Wirken

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Jones wurde für seine Arbeiten über die menschliche Evolution bekannt, wo er sich besonders der Paläoanthropologie zuwandte. Er arbeitete u. a. an der London School of Medicine for Women, University of Adelaide, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, University of Melbourne, University of Manchester und dem Royal College of Surgeons of England. Von 1943 bis 1945 war er Präsident der Anatomischen Gesellschaft von Großbritannien und Irland.[7]

Tarsian hypothesis

Jones favoured a long separate, non-anthropoid ancestry for humans. He believed that science should search as far back as the primitive tarsioid stock to find a sufficiently generalised form that would be the common ancestor of man, monkeys and the anthropoid apes. The tarsian hypothesis of Jones, which he held to from 1918[8] until his death, claimed that the human line of development did not diverge from that of apes or monkeys but from much earlier, before the Oligocene 30 million years ago, from a common ancestor with a primitive primate group of which the only other survivor is the Tarsier.[9] Wood Jones in his The Ancestry Of Man (1923) described his Tarsian hypothesis as follows:

Wood Jones explained common structural features between Man and the apes (and monkeys) through convergent evolution. In 1948 he wrote:

Jones rejected organised religion and idea of an anthropomorphic deity. He believed there was a cosmic mind behind nature. He defended the holistic philosophy of Jan Smuts and was a strong critic of Darwinism. His philosophical views are discussed in his book Design and Purpose (1942).[10][11]
