Ulrich Kutschera is one of the most popular and richest Botanist who was born on February 2, 1955 in Freiburg im Breisgau, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. Ulrich Kutschera (born 2 February 1955) is a professor of plant physiology and evolutionary biology who works at the University of Kassel, Germany, and as a Visiting Scientist in Stanford/Palo Alto, California, USA. He is the founder and head of “AK Evolutionbiologie”, an association of evolutionary biologists in Germany. Kutschera is critical of creationism and intelligent design.

In 2007, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in San Francisco, US, when speaking about the spread of creationism in Europe, Kutschera said,

Kutschera has published ca. 300 scientific papers, many with co-authors from the US, such as Karl J. Niklas, Winslow R. Briggs, and David A. Weisblat, and ten books (in German). Since 2010, he is the producer of a series of science videos for biology students, inclusive of the piano background music, see the Album Review of G. Lemco on KZSU-Stanford Radio.

His academic textbook, Evolutionsbiologie(2015) has been translated into Russian and Portuguese. Kutschera’s book Tatsache Evolution was a best-seller during the Year of Darwin 2009 (in Germany) and, like his monograph Das Gender-Paradoxon (2016), the subject of controversial reports and discussions. In 2018, he published a critical analysis of the scientific validity of physiognomy, with reference to Darwin′s work on this topic.

Kutschera is an elected member of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Bonn, Germany and the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB). In 2002, he became head of the Arbeitskreis (AK) Evolutionsbiologie (workgroup evolutionary biology) at the Verband Deutscher Biologen (vdbiol) [de] (association of German biologists), and from 2004 to 2007 was vice president.

Wang/W.R.Briggs in Stanford, California (USA), as a Visiting Scientist (experimental analysis of hormone action in plants, etc.). The ongoing cooperation with Winslow R. Briggs (1928 – 2019) and co-workers on sunflower movements, etc., yielded a number of high-profile publications.

Kutschera completed his undergraduate studies (biology/chemistry; theory of music) at the University of Freiburg, Germany, receiving a MS in zoology and evolutionary biology. In 1985, he received a doctorate degree (PhD) in plant physiology. His thesis (summa cum laude) was awarded the Pfizer Research Award (Germany) in 1986.

Kutschera has written about evolution and creationism from historical and philosophical perspectives and the modern theory of biological evolution as an expanded synthesis, as well as the Synade-model of macroevolution. In 2008, Kutschera described the strict separation of scientific facts and theories from religious dogma in Charles Darwin’s book On the Origin of Species (1859) as Darwin’s philosophical imperative.
