Buffon's Natural History. Volume 09 (of 10) by Buffon
"Buffon's Natural History. Volume 09 (of 10)" by Buffon is an encyclopedic work published between 1749-1804. This massive collection spans 36 volumes covering everything known about natural sciences at the time, from quadrupeds and birds to minerals and geology. Volume 9 continues Buffon's groundbreaking examination of four-legged animals, part of a series that challenged biblical timelines and introduced secular perspectives on Earth's origins. Despite criticism for its ornate prose, the work revolutionized
natural history and paved the way for evolutionary thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
