England Peter Forey retired recently from a research
career at The Natural History Museum, London, where he studied the evolution of
fishes, especially coelacanths and primitive teleosts. This work is summarised
through classifications and has inevitably led him to consider more about the
theory and methods of systematics and nomenclature. He was fortunate enough to
witness and participate in the adrenaline-charged debates during the ‘cladistic
revolution’ that changed the face of animal and plant classification.
