J.L. Agassiz

J.L. Agassiz (May 28, 1807 - Dec 14, 1873) to this day remains a prominent figure as a geologist, paleontologist, and systematist, and had been at the forefront of scientific thought in his time. Having been the son to a minister, Agassiz lived as a creationist, and having studied under Cuvier, has been considered to be his direct intellectual heir, and the protector or defender of Cuverian studies and beliefs. Under Cuvier, Agassiz had further developed his lifelong opposition to Darwin's theories, along with Cuvier's beliefs regarding extinction, catastrophism, and anatomical holism. Agassiz most notable and galvanizing work, to this day, includes his research on glaciation, which had been developed during his stay in both in Europe and North America.
