William Henry Dallinger (1839-1909) was a British minister and scientist known for his contributions to microscopy and his research on unicellular organisms. He became the first to study the complete lifecycle of these organisms under the microscope and examined their adaptation to temperature. Dallinger served as the president of the Quekett Microscopical Club and received three honorary doctorates. In his notable controlled evolution experiment, he cultivated unicellular organisms in an incubator, gradually increasing the temperature. He observed signs of adaptation to higher temperatures, supporting Darwinian adaptation. Dallinger was an early supporter of Darwinism, accepting natural selection and viewing creationism as untenable. He believed that religion and science were not in conflict and saw no need to reconcile the Book of Genesis with geological findings.
