Description
Portrait of Louis Agassiz (1807-1873), a Swiss-American biologist and geologist, known for his contributions to the fields of zoological classifications and geological history, including founding the study of glaciology. He was the first to propose the idea of a previous Ice Age on the earth. His scientific legacy includes heavy research and new discoveries, but his endorsement of scientific racism and his resistance to Darwinism have complicated his legacy.
