DELAGE, YVES. - French zoologist and biologist, b. in Avignon on 13 May 1854, d. at Sceaux on 7 Oct. 1920, director of the zoology laboratory at Roscoff.

He is owed research and studies on artificial parthenogenesis, on the maturation processes of the ovular cytoplasm and on the development of cirripedes. In his work on heredity and the problems of biology, he acknowledges that the theory of evolution is not demonstrable and that only a philosophical prejudice can decide to accept it. He wrote: L'hérédité et les grands problèmes de la biologie générale (Paris 1903) and, in collaboration with M. Goldsmith, Les théories de l'évolution (ibid. 1909), La parthénogénèse naturelle et expérimentale (ibid. 1913).
