Peter Holland

Peter Holland is a British evolutionary biologist and professor of zoology at the University of Oxford.

He is known for his work on animal evolution and development, particularly in the field of evo-devo (evolutionary developmental biology).

Holland's research focuses on understanding how genes control animal body plans and how these genetic mechanisms have evolved over time.

He has made significant contributions to the study of homeobox genes and their role in animal development.

Holland is respected for his ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to both academic and general audiences, as evidenced by his authorship of accessible books on animal biology.
