Georges Cuvier |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| An early scientist of animal classification, French-born Georges Cuvier believed that all animals could be categorized into four main body types. According to Cuvier, body type and organ structure did not evolve over time. His theory that each species was immutable was challenged by the 1859 publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. | ||||||
