   Why did Cuvier establish extinctions?

   • Cuvier established extinctions as a fact that any future scientific theory of life had to explain. In Darwin ‘ s theory, species that did not adapt to changing environments or withstand the competition of other species faced annihilation. Darwin did not, however, accept all of Cuvier’s ideas on extinctions.

   Did Georges Cuvier prove extinctions were real?

   • But it was only at the end of the 18th century that the great French paleontologist and anatomist Georges Cuvier was able to demonstrate convincingly that extinctions were real. Much of Cuvier's research produced knowledge that would ultimately support Darwin's theory of evolution, although Cuvier himself did not realize it.

   What did Cuvier discover?

   • Instead, Cuvier declared that they were separate species that had vanished. He later studied many other big mammal fossils and demonstrated that they too did not belong to any species alive today. The fossil evidence led him to propose that periodically the Earth went through sudden changes, each of which could wipe out a number of species.

Before Cuvier, many naturalists and anatomists divided the animal kingdom into two main groups: the vertebrates and invertebrates.
