Marbled edges. = Superbly bound first edition of this ground-breaking work by the French zoologist and anatomist Georges Jean Léopold Dagobert Cuvier 1769-1832 which lays the foundation for comparative zoology and phylogeny. Cuvier "laid the foundations of comparative anatomy. . It is in his classification of the animal kingdom into four main groups Vertebrata Mollusca Articulata and Radiata that he so notably succeeded in giving a lead that has been followed by all his successors. In contradiction to the current view that the structure of an animal determined its functions and habits Cuvier held that an animal's structure was due to its functions and habits. . He also saw that . homogeneity in an individual should enable a competent naturalist to reconstruct a complete animal from any significant part of its anatomy" PMM.
