Georges Cuvier, a French zoologist, made the first important discoveries involving fossils and was a major contributor to Paleontology and comparative anatomy. One of his most major scientific contributions was applying his knowledge of anatomy to piece together fossils of extinct animals.

He also developed the theory of catastrophism, saying that many natural disasters occurred to cause great changes all over Earth and that Earth was only 6,000 years old.
