The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils.
- Cuvier's work is considered the foundation of vertebrate paleontology, and he expanded Linnaean taxonomy by grouping classes into phyla and incorporating both fossils and living species into the classification.
- Cuvier is also known for establishing extinction as a scientific fact, at the time, extinction was considered by many of Cuvier's contemporaries to be merely controversial speculation.
