	Richard Owen (1804-1892)
		Owen's family was not wealthy, and Owen's father died when the boy was five years old.
		Owen was soon to become an assistant in cataloging the Hunterian Collection of thirteen thousand human and animal anatomical specimens, which had been purchased by the Crown after the death of its owner, the famous surgeon John Hunter.
		Owen was also a taxonomist, naming and describing a vast number of living and fossil vertebrates.

	Richard Owen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Owen's subsequent revelations, that extinct giant creatures were rodents and sloths, showed that they were related to current species in the same locality, rather than being relatives of similarly sized creatures in Africa, as Darwin had originally thought.
		Owen demonstrated fossil evidence of an evolutionary sequence of horses, as supporting his idea of development from archetypes in "ordained continuous becoming" and, in 1854, gave a British Association talk on the impossibility of bestial apes, such as the recently discovered gorilla, standing erect and being transmuted into men.
		Owen's detailed memoirs and descriptions require laborious attention in reading, on account of their nomenclature and ambiguous modes of expression and the circumstance, that very little of his terminology has found universal favour, causes them to be more generally neglected than they otherwise would be.

	Richard Owen - Natural History Museum
		An outstanding naturalist, with a special gift for interpreting fossils, Richard Owen was a remarkable man. He produced a vast array of scientific work, and famously coined the word 'dinosaur.' One of Owen's greatest achievements was his campaign for the natural specimens in the British Museum to be given a new home.
		Owen would occasionally act as a guide for visitors to the collection and consequently was introduced to the famous French naturalist Baron Cuvier (1769-1832) in 1830.
		Owen also helped create the first life-size sculptures of dinosaurs in Crystal Palace and famously hosted an extravagant party in the belly of a reconstructed Iguanodon, illustrating he had a lighter, jollier side to his personality.

		Owen needed a sensible alternative to transmutation embedded in a non-materialist framework, and he too turned to German transcendentalism, which he blended and muted with a liberal appeal to law.
		Owen knew of course that not all fossil lines pointed the human way, in fact only one of many did - still, there was a timeless purpose behind nature's veneer.
		Owen denied that the 'Great Cause of all ' was an 'all-pervading anima mundi', the more pointedly, perhaps, because Schelling had actually pleaded guilty to a sort of pantheism, and Owen himself had been accused of it by Puseyites.
