I p. 409.Near the end of the eighteenth century scholars disputed whether fossils represented life forms that no longer existed or whether—as the Comte de Buffon at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris believed—the fossils found in Europe and America represented animals that had migrated to the tropics. Buffon argued that God would not have let his creations go extinct. In 1796 Cuvier presented a paper to the National Institute of Sciences and Arts in Paris in which he compared the anatomy of living and fossil elephants thus proving extinction to be a fact as the fossil elephants had not been seen by recent humans. In the following years Cuvier continued to document the extinction of animals such as the giant ground sloth the Irish elk and the American mastodon.Cuvier's research on extinct forms led him to investigate the causes of extinction. He proposed a catastrophist geological history of the earth. Édition originale de cet ouvrage important dans le domaine de la paléontologie.

Scarce first edition of a work which laid the foundation of vertebrate paleontology Horblit One Hundred Books 20b. The separately paginated memoirs many of which first appeared in 'Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris' are here reissued in revised form prefaced by the important 'Discours preliminaire'. Georges Cuvier 1769-1832 was an outstanding French naturalist who helped to found the fields of vertebrate paleontology and comparative anatomy. He was professor of comparative anatomy at the Mus�um d�Histoire Naturelle Paris. As Martin J. S. Rudwick states 'It is difficult to overestimate the huge impact of Cuvier on zoology paleontology and geology.' Significant and highly influential results of Cuvier's palaeontological and geological research were presented in a series of essays published in these four volumes Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles de quadrupe`ds Paris 1812. Rudwick notes that Cuvier �called himself �a new species of antiquarian� who was using fossil bones instead of human artifacts as historical evidence. He therefore argued that naturalists such as himself could and should aspire to �burst the limits of time� � just as astronomers such as Pierre-Simon de Laplace to whom he dedicated his Ossemens fossiles had already �burst the limits of space". Vol. 1 includes Discours pr�liminaire in which Cuvier introduced the idea of geological �revolutions� to explain mass extinctions of prehistoric species. Other papers include an essay on an Egyptian ibis mummy brought from Thebes during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt; and with Alexandre Brogniart 1770-1847 an updated version of Cuvier's important stratigraphical memoir of 1810 Essai sur la G�ographie Min�ralogique des Environs de Paris which contributed to the concept of faunal succession in rock strata of different periods. In Vol. 2 Cuvier describes species of pachyderms found in recent alluvial deposits including elephants mastodons rhinoceros hippopotamus and tapir. In Vol. 3 Cuvier's recalls the challenges of reconstruing fossils of different species.

Through the method of reconstruction of what ancient mammals must have looked like on the basis of bone and other fossil remnants "Cuvier created the science of paleontology in the modern sense. At the same time he largely reformed the system of zoological classification by introducing fossil animals into it" Nordenskold. "His concept of geological revolutions which he believed to be a regular and natural part of earth's history was used to explain the mass extinction of species from previous opochs" Norman 566.
