On 13 July 2006 the prominent developmentalist Gilbert Gottlieb died at home at the age of 76 after a battle with cancer. For over 40 years, his research and scholarship guided and enhanced the fields of comparative psychology, developmental psychology, and psychobiology. His contributions to developmental science were both wide and deep, covering such topics as imprinting, perceptual development, behavioral plasticity, and the links between developmental and evolutionary theory. Perhaps his most enduring contribution was the demonstration that species uniformity does not imply the absence of experiential inputs during development. His theoretical and conceptual efforts to articulate this view included the notion of probabilistic epigenesis, the concept of the development manifold, the delineation of the various roles of experience in development, and his pioneering contributions to developmental systems theory. Each provided key insights and valuable heuristics that advanced our collective understanding of the principles and processes of development. His achievements will continue to influence the course of developmental science for many years to come. Gottlieb's first contribution to the empirical literature came with the publication of his dissertation on imprinting (1961).
