Price: $240.00
LOUIS AGASSIZ
Small card signed by scientist Louis Agassiz
Signature: "Ls Agassiz". 3½x2 card. Born in French-speaking
Switzerland and educated at European universities, Agassiz (1807-1873)
accepted a Professorship at Harvard (1848) and spent the rest of his
life promoting American science. He made highly influential studies of
fossil fish and glaciers, coining the term "Ice Age" to describe an
ancient era of extensive glaciation. Although his fossil studies were used by
others to support Darwin's Theory of Evolution, Agassiz never accepted that
doctrine. He espoused catastrophism, believing that new species emerged
after such upheavals, and defined a species as "a thought of God". Lightly
toned, soiled, creased and bowed. Light marks from mountings in right corners
(do not touch signature). Otherwise in fine condition.
