Baron Georges Leopold Chretien Frédéric Dagobert Cuvier (August 23 1769 — May 13, 1832), French naturalist, was born at Montbéliard, and was the son of a retired officer on half-pay belonging to a Protestant family which had emigrated from the Jura mountains on the French-Swiss border as a consequence of religious persecution.
In 1798 was published his first separate work, the Tableau élémentaire de l’Histoire naturelle des animaux, which was an abridgment of his course of lectures at the École du Pantheon, and may be regarded as the foundation and first and general statement of his natural classification of the animal kingdom.
In 1826 he was made grand officer of the Legion of Honour; and in 1831 he was raised by Louis Philippe to the rank of peer of France, and was subsequently appointed president of the council of state.
