For scientists, no event better represents the contest between form
and function as the chief organizing principle of life as the
debate between Georges Cuvier and Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire.
This book presents the first comprehensive study of the celebrated
French scientific controversy that focused the attention of
naturalists in the first decades of the nineteenth century on the
conflicting claims of teleology, morphology, and evolution, which
ultimately contributed to the making of Darwin's theory. This
history describes not only the scientific dimensions of the
controversy and its impact on individuals and institutions, but
also examines the meaning of the debate for culture and society in
the years before Darwin.
