Although he rejected Jean Baptiste Lamarck’s theory of species mutability early in his career, later he favorabl...

Gray, Asa, 1810-1888

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w65f9k1r (person)

French government expeditions brought specimens from distant lands to build its collections. Upon his arrival at the Museum Cuvier rearran...
