sep 7, 1707 - George-Louis Buffon (September 7, 1707-April 16, 1788)
Description:
George-Louis Buffon was a French naturalist that had a significant impact on the theory of evolution. Buffon believed that when life originated it was already divided into a number of distinct types--an "internal mould" that organized the organic particles that made up any individual creature. But during migration, life changed. As a species moved to new habitats, the supply of organic particles that could create new individuals changed, and the particles changed a species' mould.Added to timeline:
