	Georges Cuvier (1769-1832)
		Cuvier was born on 23 August 1769, at Montbéliard, a French-speaking community in the Jura Mountains then rule by the Duke of Württemberg.
		Cuvier argued instead that life was divided into four distinct embranchements (life-vertebrates, molluscs, articulates (insects and crustaceans), and radiates).
		Cuvier was a strong opponent of his colleague Lamarck's theory of evolution.

	Random House Academic Resources \| Evolution by Edward J. Larson
		Cuvier concentrated his scientific research on the burgeoning field of comparative anatomy; he was convinced that the internal structure of an animal revealed its function and therefore its true nature.
		Cuvier was the first naturalist to have at his disposal a suitably complete collection of the world's mammals-past and present-to make definitive distinctions among them.
		According to one observer, Cuvier's head "gave to his entire person an undeniable cachet of majesty and to his face an expression of profound meditation."6 Here was the lion of nineteenth-century French science and founder of modern comparative anatomy and paleontology.

		Cuvier's "unveiling" of history was at the heart of his radical departure from the old order of natural history.
		For Cuvier, the primary purpose of dissection was to reveal the function of structures–functions being the prime measuring units of physiological investigation and structures meaning the skeletal frame of the human body–corresponding to our modern understanding of the word anatomy.
		Behind Cuvier's exaggerated empiricist stance–his careful description and comparison of bone structures–were the teleological principals of the "conditions of existence" and the "correlation of parts." The "conditions of existence" assumed that an organism was provided at the outset with all the necessary functions for its existence.

	Gazella cuvieri - Cuvier's gazelle, edmi gazelle
		Cuvier's gazelle is part of the subgenus Gazella, although some authors consider it to be in a group by itself, or allied with G.
		Cuvier's gazelle is one of the darkest gazelle species, with an overall grayish-brown coat (Walther, 1990; Kingdon, 1997).
		Accurate population censuses are difficult to perform in the forested areas of the range of Cuvier's gazelle, although de Smet (1991) estimated the Algerian population at 560, with the caveat that this may be an underestimate.

		In addition, Cuvier was, like Linnaeus, a taxonomist (a builder of systematic classification systems) and, as such, not inclined to welcome theories of built-in change, especially from someone like Buffon, who denied the reality of the concept of species.
		Cuvier's research led him to conclude that there had been several stages to the earth's history (defined by various catastrophes), but he held firm to the notion that since the last great flood (which he dated at roughly the same period as the Biblical account), animal life on earth had remained unchanged.
		Cuvier was an outstanding pioneer in the reconstruction of fossil remains based on partial evidence.

		Cuvier’s opinions on taxonomy and homology were based on the belief that the creator worked with a limited number of basic archetypes.
		Cuvier’s contributions to the study of taxonomy and homology were based on his belief in an orderly creation.
		Cuvier’s creationist understanding of homology was scientific in that it rested on the facts of nature in addition to what he considered to be the truths of revelation.

	Systematists: Linnaeus, Jussieu, Cuvier, Strickland
		For example, Cuvier was a morphologist and a systematist, but I list him with natural theologians because he shares their views on so many issues (chief among them being adaptationism).
		Cuvier is not a natural theologian (because the French were not as insistent on mixing their religion with their science) but he had somewhat similar views.
		But von Baer believed that the taxonomy of adults reflected the various ways that those adult bodies were built during embryogenesis.

	Contexts -- Science -- Biology -- Classification
		His late seventeenth-century work is based on the taxonomy of Aristotle, but he provided a sounder scientific basis on which to make distinctions of various plants and animals from one another.
		The debate became only more heated as taxonomy became entangled in arguments over evolution, as biologists began to explain both the similarities and differences of the species by placing them at different points along an evolutionary path.
		Early attempts to reconcile taxonomy with evolution were tentative and inconsistent: lacking an adequate empirical record (such as fossils), many theorists made wild speculations about the relationships between the species.

	Development of Evolutionary Thought
		Georges Cuvier (1769 - 1832) was interested in biology from childhood, an interest that he developed further while living in the French countryside during the Revolution.
		Cuvier also classified animals according to their body plan (as vertebrates, molluscs, those with jointed exoskeletons and those with radial symmetry), a major advance in thinking about relationships.
		Cuvier's adherence to the concept that species were "fixed" and unchanging meant that he rejected the model of evolution developed by his fellow Frenchman, Lamarck.

		George Cuvier (1769–1832), a French vertebrate zoologist, was the first to use comparative anatomy to develop a system of classifying animals.
		Cuvier was also a staunch advocate of special creation and fixity of species; this presented him with a problem when geological evidence of a particular region showed a succession of life forms in the earth's strata.

		Taxonomy is the branch of biology concerned with naming and classifying the diverse forms of life.
		Cuvier realized the history of life on earth was recorded in these strata of rocks.
		Cuvier speculated that the boundaries between the fossil strata corresponded to catastrophic events, such as floods or drought, that had destroyed many of the local species that had lived in that area at the time.

	The Global Taxonomy Initiative
		Taxonomy is the scientific discipline that identifies, describes and classifies the diversity of life.
		Taxonomy can roughly be divided in three complementary specialities.
		Enigmatically however, taxonomy - as the mother of all biological sciences - has during the last century lost quite a bit of the cutting edge splendour it previously lodged (especially in the eight-and nineteenth century when protagonists such as Linnaeus, Cuvier, Lamarck, Darwin, Wallace and Haeckel were active).

	Module 1: Descent with Modification
		Cuvier recognized that extinction had been a common occurrence in the history of life.
		Instead of evolution, Cuvier advocated catastrophism, that boundaries between strata were due to local flood or drought that destroyed the species then present.
		In contrast to Cuvier's catastrophism, James Hutton, a Scottish geologist, proposed that the diversity of land forms (e.g., canyons) could be explained by mechanisms currently operating.

		Cuvier was a contemporary of Lamarck, and a critic.
		Accd to Cuvier and all functionalists, the typological identification of bones as “the same” in different species even though they do not function similarly is methodologically suspicious.
		Cuvier said … traits of organisms are those that are needed for the organism to function in its environment.

	ACS - American Cetacean Society
		Taxonomy is the science of classification - it is an organized method of dividing plants and animals into groups.
		This form of "bookkeeping", known as taxonomy, was started by Swedish physician and naturalist, Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778), in his work Systema Naturae, in 1735.
		Taxonomy however, remains a continuously contested science as new species are still being discovered and recent developments in the field of DNA (deoxyribonicleic acid) are challenging the old classification, based largely on anatomical similarities and evolutionary descent.

		The French anatomist Georges Cuvier was a tremendously influential figure in eighteenth century science.
		He recognized that different geological strata (layers of rock) contained a unique group of flora and fauna: the deep strata contained organisms that are the most dissimilar to present-day organisms.
		Cuvier proposed a theory of catastrophism: each layer was delineated by a catastrophe, such as a flood or fire.

		When reviewing the literature on gibbons, it is found that a variety of different names have been used for the Javan gibbon and, moreover, that some of these names have been applied also to other gibbon types.
		MATSCHIE [1893a] however was convinced that AUDEBERT'S and SCHREBER'S names (CUVIER's publication is not considered by MATSCHIE) have to be used for the gibbon of NW-Borneo, this being the only one without a fl cap, and proposed to name the Javan gibbon type «javanicus».
		The most comprehensive and thorough discussion of the taxonomy of the whole genus Hylobates has been published by GROVES [1972].
