Buffon's Natural History. Volume 08 (of 10) by Buffon
"Buffon's Natural History. Volume 08 (of 10)" by Buffon is an encyclopedic work published in 1760 as part of a monumental 36-volume series spanning 1749-1804. This volume continues Buffon's systematic exploration of quadrupeds, documenting what was known about four-legged animals in the 18th century. Part of a groundbreaking collection that challenged biblical timelines and introduced secular approaches to natural history, the work combines detailed animal descriptions with comparative anatomy. Buffon's ambitious project
laid foundations for evolutionary thinking and transformed how scientists understood the natural world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
