Bibliography. [eng]
Georges Cuvier
"A catastrophist. A racist. An egomaniac who used his reputation to intimidate others. All these descriptions fit Georges Cuvier, but they're only part of the story." [eng]
Rudwick, Martin J. S. - Georges Cuvier
Fossil Bones, and Geological Catastrophes: New Translations and Interpretations of the Primary Texts. xvi, 302 p., 20 halftones, 4 line drawings. 1997. Table of Contents. [eng]
Georges Cuvier (1769-1832)
"Brilliant and prolific vertebrate anatomist, paleontologist, and geologist. Bitterly opposed to Lamarck's transmutation theories and Geoffroy's theory that all animals shared a single basic plan, arguing instead that animal life was divided into four embranchements sharing no true homologies, and that man (order "Bimana") was taxonomically distinct from the apes (order "Quadrumana"). Established the reality of extinction using mammalian fossils; argued for periodic revolutionary episodes in earth history that replaced whole suites of organisms." [eng]
Cuvier, Georges (1769-1832)
Short bio: "French comparative anatomist who is considered the founder of functional anatomy, which maintains that the knowledge of structure acquires meaning only when the purpose is known." [eng]
