Paul Broca, French Anatomist and Anthropologist

Pierre Paul Broca (1824-1880) was a French physician, surgeon, anatomist and anthropologist. He is best known for his research on Broca's area, a region of the frontal lobe that has been named after him and is responsible for articulated language. His work revealed that the brains of patients suffering from aphasia contained lesions in a particular part of the cortex, in the left frontal region and the first anatomical proof of the localization of brain function. His work also contributed to the development of physical anthropology and advancing the science of anthropometry. His early scientific works dealt with the histology of cartilage and bone, but he also studied cancer pathology, the treatment of aneurysms, and infant mortality. As a neuroanatomist he made important contributions to the understanding of the limbic system and rhinencephalon. He wrote extensively on biological evolution. Broca wrote on public health and advocated for women's education, public education and its separation from the church.
