Description
Jean Louis Agassiz (1807-1873) was a Swiss-born naturalist and geologist. He practiced medicine briefly, but his real interest lay in scientific research. He came to the U.S. in 1846 and was professor of zoology and geology at Harvard. His 4 volume work, Contributions to the Natural History of the United States, includes his famous "Essay on Classification." Despite his own evidences for evolution, he opposed Darwinism and believed that new species could arise only through the intervention of God.
