Oh, God, no. Mayr is [was] an active and partisan proponent of one
view to the exclusion of all others. He misrepresented any view he
didn't like, and wrote a totally whig history that is, not to put too
fine a point on it, wrong (I know - I'm finalizing my history of
species concepts book right now).
The Mayden paper is much better.
