Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | His father, Jean Daubenton, a notary, intended him for the church, and sent him to Paris to study theology, but he was more interested in medicine. |
 | | In the first section of the natural history Daubenton gave descriptions and details of the dissection of 182 species of quadrupeds, thus procuring for himself a high reputation, and exciting the envy of Réaumur, who considered himself the expert on natural history in France. |
 | | From 1775 Daubenton lectured on natural history in the college of medicine, and in 1783 on rural economy at the Alfort school. |
