Alpheus Hyatt was an American zoologist and paleontologist whose work delved into the study of marine life and fossils. Influenced by his mentor Louis Agassiz, Hyatt became a notable proponent of Neo-Lamarckism. He dedicated himself to teaching at prominent universities and established a marine biological laboratory that would later evolve into a distinguished institution.
