John Maynard Smith, caricature
John Maynard Smith (1920-2004). Caricature of the British biologist John Maynard Smith. Maynard Smith studied engineering at Cambridge and then completed a second degree in genetics at University College London. In 1976 he formally applied game theory to evolution and published Evolution and the Theory of Games in 1982. He also theorised and authored books on other problems, such as the evolution of sex and signalling theory

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white caricature print captures the essence of John Maynard Smith, a renowned British biologist whose contributions to evolutionary biology are still celebrated today. The illustration showcases his intellectual prowess and scientific curiosity, portraying him as an authoritative figure in the field. With a white background that accentuates every detail, this historical artwork is a testament to Maynard Smith's significant impact on the study of genetics and evolution. Born in 1920, Maynard Smith initially pursued engineering at Cambridge before delving into genetics at University College London. His groundbreaking work came to fruition in 1976 when he applied game theory to evolution, revolutionizing our understanding of how species adapt and evolve over time. This pivotal research led him to publish "Evolution and the Theory of Games" in 1982, solidifying his status as a leading authority on the subject. Beyond game theory, Maynard Smith also explored other intriguing problems within evolutionary biology such as the evolution of sex and signaling theory. His theoretical insights were not only intellectually stimulating but also paved the way for further advancements in these areas. As we admire this caricature print, we pay homage to John Maynard Smith's immense contributions to science. His legacy lives on through his extensive body of work which continues to inspire future generations of biologists worldwide.
