Who's your daddy?

This is probably old news to most of you, but Josh Dever (Texas) is putting together a "family tree" for the intellectual genealogy of philosophers, as decided by dissertation advisor. You can learn about all sorts of family you didn't realize you had. At this point the genealogy has gotten pretty big, especially in the weeks since Brian Leiter first noted it on his blog, but he seems to be continuously updating it as more information comes in. Updates, etc., can be found on his blog.

According to current stats, the most "procreative" dissertation advisor was a free will guy: Roderick Chisolm, with a whopping 57 students.

I've always thought of Chisholm as an incredibly influential mother-procreator.
