Biographies
Science is a body of knowledge that accumulates over generations. Even when an individual reaches the wrong conclusions, he or she paves the way for those who follow. (Albert Einstein swept aside many of the theories of Isaac Newton, but if there had never been a Newton, there never could have been an Einstein.) This section gives biographies of just some of the people -- scientists, artists and collectors -- who contributed to what we know today. [eng]

John Ray
"John Ray was possibly the best naturalist of the 17th century, and he went to his grave unable to convince himself one way or the other about the origin of fossils. He considered the possibility that some fossils belonged to life forms that no longer existed, but suggesting extinction was tricky business in his time due to theological beliefs." [eng]

Adam Sedgwick
For most of the earth's history, there is not a rich record of fossil life. The really good fossils start to show up in a geologic time period known as the Cambrian. The scientist who originally named this period was the gentlemanly geologist Adam Sedgwick. Sedgwick also helped a fellow geologist, Roderick Impey Murchison, identify another geologic time period known as the Devonian. Murchison and Sedgwick were good friends for years, but a priority dispute ended their friendship for good, and the period of time in dispute was the Cambrian. [eng]

Bonnet, Charles (1720-1793)
Swiss naturalist who discovered that aphids could reproduce parthogenically (female eggs do not require the sperm for fertilization). He also noted that the freshwater hydra would regenerate lost parts. Bonnet speculated that aphid eggs consisted of an infinite number of smaller eggs, one inside the other, and generalized this preformation theory, which maintains that a child arises from an adult in miniature contained within the egg, to all other animals. [eng]

Brown, Robert (1773-1858)
Scottish botanist who noted the nucleus in orchids in 1831. Further researches showed that nuclei were present in many plants, but Brown did not believe them to be an essential part of the tissue. Brown was the first to separate plants into angiosperms and gymnosperms. He discovered the random thermal motion of pollen grains suspended in water in 1827. The effect, now called Brownian motion, is visible evidence for the kinetic theory, as was shown by Einstein. [eng]

Camerarius, Rudolph Jakob (1665-1721)
Demonstrated experimentally the sexuality of plants in Epistolae de Sexu Plantarum (Letter on the Sexuality of Plants) (1694), in which he identified the stamen and pistil as the male and female organs, and the pollen as the fertilizing agent. [eng]

Pierre Belon (1517-1564)
Pierre Belon fut mйdecin en 1560, ornithologue et botaniste. On lui doit notamment l'introduction du platane en France. [fra]
