Theodosius Grigorievich Dobzhansky (Russian: Феодо́сий Григо́рьевич Добржа́нский; Ukrainian: Теодо́сій Григо́рович Добржа́нський; January 25, 1900 – December 18, 1975) was an American geneticist and evolutionary biologist. He was a central figure in the field of evolutionary biology for his work in shaping the modern synthesis[2][4] and also popular for his support and promotion of theistic evolution as a practicing Christian.[5] Born in the Russian Empire, Dobzhansky immigrated to the United States in 1927, aged 27.[6]
His 1937 work Genetics and the Origin of Species became a major influence on the modern synthesis. He was awarded the U.S. National Medal of Science in 1964[7] and the Franklin Medal in 1973.
