Sir Richard Owen |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| In the 19th century British anatomist and paleontologist Sir Richard Owen was a leading authority on fossil remains and their reconstruction. Although he strongly opposed the evolutionary concepts of British naturalists Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, many of Owen's scientific advances have stood the test of time. He also published many scholarly papers on extinct animals, including dodos, moas, and various dinosaurs, that are still consulted today. | ||||||
