Herbert Graham Cannon FRS FRSE FLS FRMS (14 April 1897 – 6 January 1963) was a leading English zoologist and keen supporter of Lamarckism.
He was born in Wimbledon, London, on 14 April 1897 to David William Cannon, a compositor with Eyre & Spottiswoode, the third of four children.
In 1927 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, his proposers including James Hartley Ashworth.
He did stress the role of habit in determining feeding structures, although his explicit support for Lamarckism came out only much later in his career.
[6] Several bromide prints of Cannon, made by Walter Stoneman, are held by the National Gallery in London.
