T. S. Kemp
(Redirected from Thomas Stainforth Kemp)
Thomas Stainforth Kemp is a British zoologist and palaeontologist. He is known for his work on the evolution of mammals, and particularly for identifying the criteria by which proto-mammals (synapsids) should be classified as mammals.[1] He is an emeritus fellow of St John's College, Oxford, and he was the curator of the zoological collections in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History until his retirement in 2009.[2]
As well as many academic papers, and four academic books on palaeontology and evolution, Kemp has written three books in the Very Short Introductions series.
