Text in French
Foundational work in teratology, the study of congenital abnormalities. Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire coined the word teratology, to designate the science of monsters. "Isidore ... organized all known human and animal malformations taxonomically. Many principles governing abnormal development were enunciated for the first time in this work." - It also introduced hundreds of names for specific malformations, many of which are still in use. For comprehensive coverage of rare anomalies it is still of value as a reference source." One of the practical results of Isidore's work was the development of the theory of biological criminology. Geoffroy's evolutionary concepts did much to create a receptive scientific audience for Charles Darwin's arguments. ===
