GEOFFROY SAINT-HILAIRE, ISIDORE
(b. Paris, France, 16 December 1805; d. Paris, 10 November 1861),
founding member of the Société d’Anthropologie de Paris
Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire’s ideas, although in some cases not his transformism, provoked further research on the habits and diets of economically useful exotic animals, animal and environment relationships, and human and animal relationships. His concepts also inspired creation of one of the Second Empire’s largest scientific societies, the Société Zoologique d’Acclimatation, of which he served as the first president, and several similar societies throughout the world. He was instrumental as well in the history or planning of all three Parisian zoos, especially the museum’s menagerie, and the Jardin Zoologique d’Acclimatation, which showcased his ideas.
