He gained his PhD circa 1850. La Terre avant le deluge originally published in 1863 illustrated by Edouard Riou was one of Figuier's most successful works gaining critical acclaim from his contemporaries for his thoughts on geological history and the origin of modern man. Influenced by Charles Lyells Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man of 1863 the 1867 second edition and future printings abandoned the Garden of Eden shown in the first editions frontispiece for a more accurate depiction of savage men and women wearing animal skins and wielding stone axes.
