Edgar Shannon Anderson (November 9, 1897 – June 18, 1969) was an American botanist.[1][2] He introduced the term introgressive hybridization[3] and his 1949 book of that title was an original and important contribution to botanical genetics.[4] His work on the transfer and origin of adaptations through natural hybridization continues to be relevant.[5][6]
Anderson was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1934.[7] In 1954, he was an elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences.[8] He was also president of the Botanical Society of America in 1952,[9] and was a charter member of the Society for the Study of Evolution[10] and the Herb Society of America[11] He received the Darwin-Wallace Medal of the Linnean Society in 1958.[12]
