Theorie de la Terre, Comte de Buffon

Engraving from Buffon's Historie Naturelle dealing with his theory of the Earth. He wrote extensively on the origins of the Universe and the beginnings of life on Earth. He stressed that things like planets were not created by God, but rather through natural events. He believed that the origin of life on Earth was also the result of natural phenomena. Georges Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707-1788) was a French naturalist, mathematician, cosmologist, and encyclopedic author. He epitomizes the revolutionary changes that the Enlightenment brought to the study of nature. 100 years before Darwin, Buffon published his Historie Naturelle (Natural History), a 44 volume encyclopedia describing everything known about the natural world, he wrestled with the similarities of humans and apes and even talked about common ancestry of Man and apes, but ultimately rejected the possibility of a common descent.
