Georges Cuvier (Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric Cuvier)

(23 August 1769 in Montbéliard - 13 May 1832 in Paris) was a French anatomist, promoter of comparative anatomy and palaeontology in the 19th century.
In 1788, he took over the position of tutor of a co-religionist to the family of the count of Héricy, noble protestant family of Caen in Normandy holding salon. His job leaves him free time, he discovers the natural sciences by dissecting the cat or parrot of the countess. It was an important herbarium at that time. From these solitary works, he will later deduce the law of correlation of forms allowing the reconstruction of a skeleton from some fragments. Very early on, he had an intuition of the need for a new classification of the animal kingdom. He submits his notes to the priest Tessier, who passes them on to Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, a professor at the new Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris, who notes the qualities of the young man. His talents were appreciated by Henri Alexandre Tessier, agronomist, he was called to Paris in 1795
He was successively appointed professor of natural history at the central schools of the Pantheon (on this occasion, he publishes his courses in the form of the Traité élémentaire des animaux which reviews the entire classification of animals and ensures its notoriety). He became a foreign member of the Royal Society on 17 April 1806.
He died on 13 May 1832 from paralysis at the age of sixty-two in Paris and is buried at the Père-Lachaise cemetery
