Georges Cuvier ¿un nombre olvidado en la historia de la fisiología?

Abstract

Institutionally, Cuvier’s program has developed in an area foreign to the medical sciences; nonetheless, from a epistemological point of view, his theoretical concerns coincided with those that guided a big part of this field of research. His comparative anatomy was a resource for the development of physiology, science that was considered by him as part of a natural history understood as particular physics.
