Hyatt was born in Washington, D.C. and graduated from Yale in 1862. He fought in the US Civil War, reaching the rank of Captain. Studied under Louis Agassiz. A proponent of Neo-Lamarckism with Edward Drinker Cope. He edited "American Naturalist" between 1867 and 1870. Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1870-1888. He established a laboratory for the study of Marine Biology in Annisquam, Massachusetts. The River Road building gave him access to the Annisquam River, a salt water estuary.
