Born in Golcar, Yorkshire, in 1913, Evans came to St John's College in 1930 to study for the Natural Sciences Tripos, graduating BA in 1934. The award of his PhD in 1938 was followed by his election to a Fellowship at St John's. During the Second World War, Evans served in the RNVR, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Upon his return to Cambridge, Evans held the posts of Lecturer in Plant Physiology (1945-77), Lecturer in Botany (1949-79), and Reader in Experimental Ecology (1977-79). At St John's he served as Bursar in Charge of College Buildings from 1952 to 1966. He also held the offices of President of the British Ecological Society (1975-6) and Chairman of the British Photobiological Society (1979-81). Evans published a number of works and articles in the field of ecology.
