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".
