Benjamin Barton (1766-1815) was a prominent American physician, botanist and zoologist, a professor at the University Of Pennsylvania. He wrote the first American textbook on botany. As a Christian, he was vitally interested in ethnology and the origin of the different tribes and nations. In his writings he defended the Biblical doctrine of the unity of the human race and their dispersion from Ararat. He also believed in recent creation as the Bible describes.
