Abstract
Morris Goodman (1925–2010) was an American geneticist and one of the founders of the field of molecular anthropology. He made fundamental contributions to the fields of phylogenetic systematics and molecular evolution. He is most well known for his contributions in deciphering the evolutionary relationships among living apes. In 1960, he provided the first solid molecular evidence that humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas formed a clade to the exclusion of all other living primates. Other contributions involved phylogenetic theory, rates of molecular evolution, and the evolution of oxygen transport and energy production. He was a member of the US National Academy of Sciences.
