Lamarck - Famouse Biography of the world
 
Great Scientist - Lamarck

Lamarck was the first man whose conclusions concerning the origin of
species excited much attention.

He first did the great service of arousing attention to the probability
of all change in the organic, as well as inorganic world, being the
result of law and not of miraculous interposition.

His first book was on the Plants of France - Flore Francaise, which
brought him acclaim. It remained a standard work for many years. He was
elected to the prestigious French Academy of Sciences in preference to
scientists with much longer careers behind them.

He worked in the Royal Herbarium at the Jardin des Plantes and was
instrumental in its reorganization in 1793, into the French Museum of
Natural History.

False. That would be Buffon, Lamarck's mentor. His Natural History series was
enormously influential. Then, before Lamarck publishe dthe Zoological
Philosophy, Cuvier published Revolutions of the Earth, in which he established
the defacto standard definition and discussion of species.

What's a famouse? Is it some kind of odd species of rodent?
