 Department
of Zoology: 150th
From an ex-minister who denounced Darwin to today’s
research juggernaut, zoology at U of T has come a long way
in 150 years. In 1853, when Reverend Hincks became the first
professor at U of T to teach natural science, Charles Darwin
was still going over his notes. Today U of T zoologists unravel
the mysteries of life in the sea, land and air, and add to
our growing knowledge of the interdependence of all life on
earth. Read
more about zoology’s 150th anniversary.
