Description The papers in this volume discuss the notion of “premature” scientific discoveries posed by molecular biologist Gunther Stent in 1972. They were initiated by the question: “why are some discoveries rejected at a particular time but later seen to be valid?” Relevant papers are listed separately. Contributors include: Carpenter, Kenneth J., Comfort, Nathaniel, Gerson, Elihu, Ghiselin, Michael, Glen, William, Hetherington, Norriss S., Holmes, Frederic L., Hook, Ernest B., Hull, David, Jones, Martin, Löwy, Ilana, Motulsky, Arno G., Munévar, Gonzalo, Nye, Mary Jo, Ruse, Michael, Sacks, Oliver, Seaborg, Glenn T., Stent, Gunther S., Stern, Lawrence, Townes, Charles H., Muhll, George Von der, Zinder, Norton.
