Before Alfred C. Kinsey embarked on his landmark sexuality research in 1938, the Harvard-educated researcher spent the first 20 years of his career at IU in the study of gall wasps. This circa 1937 photo (left) shows him sitting at his desk with a box of gall wasp specimens. Kinsey’s specialty was taxonomy, the classification of the species and the study of individual variation. A year later, Kinsey began research into human sexual behavior leading to the publication of the “Kinsey Reports:” Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953).
