Descrizione

Paris, Muséum d'Histoire naturelle, 1825. 4to. 21 pp. Disbound. = Important early paper on the (social) intelligence of the European common seal by the French zoologist and paleontologist Frédéric Cuvier (1773-1838). "[Cuvier] was the younger brother of noted naturalist and zoologist Georges Cuvier. Cuvier has been described as the first scientist to use terms "héréditaire" (hereditary) in 1807 and "heredity” in 1812 in their now biological context. He used both words in promoting the inheritance of acquired characteristics based on his studies of animal behaviour" (Wikipedia). Published in the Museum's Annales, volume 17. Rare. Some soiling or age-toning to the first page, otherwise a very good, clean copy.
