| As a young adult, Georges Cuvier (1769 – 1832) took a position as tutor to a noble family in Normandy where he also made a reputation for himself as a naturalist. In 1795, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire invited him to come to Paris; he was appointed as a professor of animal anatomy at the newly reformed Musée National dHistoire Naturelle. Cuvier served under three different, opposing French governments (Revolution, Napoleonic, and monarchy). All the while, Cuvier lectured and did research at the Musée National, amazing his colleagues with his energy and devotion to science. |
