Walter Aubrey Kidd (1852–1929) British physician and medical and zoological author. Kidd was a supporter of Lamarckian evolution. He took interest in studying the evolution of mammalian hair and wrote several books on this topic. He was the author of Use-Inheritance Illustrated by the Direction of Hair on the Bodies of Animals, 1901. The book argued for the inheritance of acquired characters, based on observations of the direction of hair on the bodies of animals. Herpetologist Inez Whipple Wilder wrote a seven page review of Kidd's The Direction of Hair in Animals and Man in the Science journal.
