Georges-Louis Leclerc Comte de Buffon was a noted scientist whose monumental works in natural sciences influenced the next two generations of naturalists including Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Georges Cuvier. Mayr The Growth of Biological Thought. p 330 Buffon's work was based on the methods of observation and experimentation. He raised many of the fundamental problems of biology in a scientific context. One of Buffon's most important contributions was the popularization of the old earth theory in opposition to Archbishop Ussher's biblical earth time-line. Buffon was an important pre-cursor to Darwin. Cited as the father of biogeography Buffon's Law postulated that creatures "improved" and "degenerated" after dispersing from a center of creation. He based his theory on comparative anatomy studies. Buffon tried to explain the origin of living things by spontaneous generation of elementary particles and its development as a consequence of climate and diet. Buffon argued that all members of a family of species descended from the same ancestors a "unity of type".

Condorcet wrote the Lettres d'un bourgeois de New-Heaven sur l'unité de la législation et Réflexions touchant l'influence de la révolution de l'Amérique sur l'Europe par un habitant obscur de l'ancien hémisphère. " The only book of that time to contain a collection of information absolutely true about the United States is Mazzei's big work : 'Recherches historiques et politiques sur les Etats-Unis de l'Amérique'… This enormous work in four parts is a methodical and careful rebuttal of every mistake that was said or written about the United States. His book is important. He also shows that if we had wanted we could have had in France an accurate knowledge of the United States of their social political and moral conditions. Mazzei refutes one after the other Hilliard d'Auberteuil the illustrious Mably the great Raynal and the newspapers.
