Louis Agassiz (1807-1873), Swiss-US geologist and biologist. Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz produced a catalogue of fossil fish from Brazil in 1829, and completed an extensive history of European fish in 1842. He wrote a pioneering five-volume work on fossil fish in 1843. He moved to the USA in 1846, and from his studies there on glaciers proposed the idea of ice ages, where ice sheets had advanced and retreated over Europe and North America. He was also a leading critic of Darwin's evolution theories. Illustration published in 1869. | |
