The phrase "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution" was actually not created by a specific person or at a specific time. It is a paraphrasing of a quote from the evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky, who wrote:

> "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution."

This quote appears in his 1973 essay "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution", published in the *American Biology Teacher*.

Therefore, while the phrase itself has been used widely, the original quote was written by Dobzhansky in 1973.
