Here is a fascinating chart showing the partial lineage of PhD degrees in the field of chemistry. It's a bit dated now (1979), and is tailored to University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty (whence the "Badger Geneology") but fortunately older geneology never changes--you just have to know where to jump in.
Basically, every PhD chemist can trace their
Doktorvater lineage back to just three prominent 18th century chemists:
C.L. Berthollet,
A.F. Fourcroy (both of Paris) and
J.J. Berzelius (of Stockholm). I am descended from Fourcroy.
