His most famous work, Le Règne Animal, was published in French in 1817; Edward Griffith (1790–1858), a solicitor and amateur naturalist, embarked on in 1824, with a team of colleagues, an English version which resulted in this illustrated sixteen-volume edition with additional material, published between 1827 and 1835. Cuvier was the first biologist to compare the anatomy of fossil animals with living species, and he named the now familiar 'mastodon' and 'megatherium'. However, his studies convinced him that the evolutionary theories of Lamarck and St Hilaire were wrong, and his influence on the scientific world was such that the possibility of evolution was widely discounted by many scholars both before and after Darwin. Volume 12 covers molluscs and radiata.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eMollusca\u003cbr\u003e Class Cephalopoda\u003cbr\u003e Class Pteropoda\u003cbr\u003e Class Gasteropoda\u003cbr\u003e Class Acephala\u003cbr\u003e Class Brachiopoda\u003cbr\u003e Class Cirrhopoda\u003cbr\u003e Supplement on mollusca\u003cbr\u003e Zoophytes\u003cbr\u003e Class Echinodermata\u003cbr\u003e Supplement on zoophytes\u003cbr\u003e Supplement on echinodermata\u003cbr\u003e Supplement on the entozoa\u003cbr\u003e Supplement on the acalephae\u003cbr\u003e Supplement on polypi\u003cbr\u003e Supplement on the infusoria\u003cbr\u003e Alphabetical list of figures\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20science%20%5BPDX%5D%22\"\u003ePDX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266091995416,"sku":"9781108049658","price":53.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108049658i_e9bfdddb-fe66-47c2-8088-4af176d92680.jpg?v=1696746981","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-animal-kingdom-arranged-in-conformity-with-its-organization-paperback-9781108049658","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
