Richard Darwin Keynes CBE FRS (born 14 August 1919) is a British physiologist.
Keynes (pronounced "Canes") is the eldest son of Geoffrey Keynes, and thus the nephew of the economist John Maynard Keynes. His mother, Margaret Elizabeth (née Darwin), was the daughter of the astronomer George Howard Darwin and the granddaughter of Charles Darwin. His brothers are Quentin, Milo and Stephen (see also Darwin — Wedgwood family). In 1945 he married Anne Pinsent Adrian, the elder daughter of Physiology Nobel Prize recipient Edgar Douglas Adrian, 1st Baron Adrian and Dame Hester Agnes Adrian, DBE. They had three sons (and one son deceased), including Simon Keynes (born 1952), Randal Keynes and Roger Keynes.[1]
Keynes was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge.[1]
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1959 and was made Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1984.[1]
