'Long before Charles Darwin undertook his first voyage, animal taxonomists had begun the scientific classification of animals, plants, and minerals. In the mid-1950s, taxonomist A. J. Cain summarized the state of knowledge about the structure of the living world in his major book Animal Species and Their Evolution. His work remains remarkably current today. Here Cain explains each of the terms by which scientists now classify all animalsfrom species through genus, family, order, class, and phylum. The work of the modern taxonomist is dependent on the work of paleontologists, field biologists, ecologists, and other specialists who help piece together the puzzle of nature. This seminal text will interest students in each of these areas. It will also appeal to historians of science and to all amateur scientists with an interest in the animal kingdom' (Web site of Princeton University Press, which reissued the book in 1993 and most recently reprinted it in 2016 in its Princeton Legacy Library).

'With John Currey he made elegant use of sub-fossil material to follow changes in time as well as space. Later he turned to the study of variation in shell shape' (Wikipedia). The Wikipedia article cites Cook, L. M., 'Arthur Cain and ecological genetics in the Oxford Zoology Department' (Archives of Natural History, 51 (1): 7385, 2024): 'In the two decades after the Second World War a group of members of the University of Oxford's Zoology Department investigated evidence for and the strength of natural selection in wild populations, a subject that had been developing since the beginning of the century. They provided a stimulus for many further field studies by others and in other places. Their central contention was that strong selection led to the close adaptation of all aspects of the genome of organisms to their environment. The research centred on the work of E. B. Ford and H. B. D. Kettlewell, on the one hand, and A. J. Cain, on the other. Ford was influenced by R. A. Fisher's theory of the evolution of dominance, which he maintained led to heterozygote advantage, polymorphism and thus high levels of genetic diversity. While convinced of the power of selection and studying a conspicuous polymorphism, Cain had a much broader interest in adaptation and speciation' (Abstract).
