Charles M. Breder, Jr. hypothetical considerations, 1931 - 1937

"Charles M. Breder Jr. 'hypothesis' diary is a deviation from the field diaries that form part of the Breder collection housed at the Arthur Vining Davis Library, Mote Marine Laboratory. There are no notes or observations from specific scientific expeditions in the document. Instead, the contents provide an insight into the early meticulous scientific thoughts of this biologist, and how he examines and develops these ideas. It is apparent that among Dr. Breder's passions was his continual search for knowledge about questions that still besieged many scientists . Topics discussed include symmetry, origin of the atmosphere, origin of life, mechanical analogies of organisms, aquaria as an organism, astrobiology, entropy, evolution of species, and other topics. The diary was transcribed as part of the Coastal Estuarine Data/Document Rescue and Archeology effort for South Florida." A. Y. Cantillo, E. Collins, S. Stover, editors.
