RMT96JG5–Georges Cuvier (August 23, 1769 - May 13, 1832) was a French naturalist and zoologist, sometimes referred to as the ''Father of paleontology''. He originated a system of zoological classification that grouped animals according to the structures of their skeletons and organs. Cuvier extended his system to fossils; his reconstructions of the way extinct animals looked, based on their skeletal remains, greatly advanced the science of paleontology.
