#FunFactFriday! #DYK that today is Charles Henry Turner's Birthday? Charles Henry Turner was a biologist, neurologist, and psychologist who achieved an international reputation as a researcher in animal behavior, concentrating on bees and ants. He was also the first African American to earn a Ph. D.
Turner's work was different from the majority of scientists of his time as he clearly adopted a cognitive perspective to analyze animal behavior. He used concepts such as learning, memory and expectation, in a time when most scientists believed that animals such as insects were exclusively driven by instinctive reactions to external stimuli. This cognitive view would only reemerge much later in studies of animal behavior.
