oct 23, 1775 - Robert Edmond Grant and Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire
Description:
Robert Edmond Grant (1793-1874) and Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772-1844) further develop the ideas of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck & Erasmus Darwin to propose that plants and animals had a common evolutionary starting point (a view wrongly discredited by Richard Owen).
