Georges-Louis Leclerc Count of Buffon 1707-1788 produced his encyclopedic work of 36 volumes over the course of 50 years and is known as one of the chief naturalists of the 18th century. Among other paradigm-changing contributions to understanding the natural world Buffon's works challenged calculation that the world was 6 000 years old and his claim of the superiority of European flora and fauna to that of North America affronted Thomas Jefferson so much that he sent examples to Europe in order to disprove Buffon's assertion.
