The Case of the Midwife Toad Quotes

“There is no biography of Paul Kammerer in existence. The sources for the pages which follow are his books and technical papers, the polemics to which they gave rise, documents in various archives, and personal communications from a number of people, scientists and others, who had known him among them Kammerer's daughter, his only child, who was baptised by the name of Lacerta. The Lacertidae are a genus of pretty lizards which he was very fond of; he also discovered a previously unknown variety which is named after him-Lacerta fimana Kammereri.”
― Arthur Koestler, The Case of the Midwife Toad
