Essay on Classification
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A significant influence on the development of scientific culture, Louis Agassiz was a distinguished systematist, paleontologist, and educator. He was also an outspoken opponent of evolution; ironically, his 1851 Essay on Classification provided evolutionists with support for the theory of natural selection. A treasure of historically valuable insights that contributed to the development of evolutionary biology, this volume introduced the landmark contention that paleontology, embryology, ecology, and biogeography are inextricably linked in the process of classification. Its emphasis on advanced and original work gave major impetus to the study of science directly from nature, and it remains a classic of American scientific literature. 1962 ed.
