Système des animaux sans vertèbres ou tableau général des classes, des ordres et des genres de ces animaux.
Paris, Chez l'Autheur, 1801.
More Details >
2000 €
First edition.
One of the very first formulations of the concept of evolution of species (transformism), before Darwin's, and presenting as the cause of evolution (Lamarckism) the heredity of acquired characteristics.
It will take more than 50 years for Darwin's work on environmental selection pressure to contradict Lamarck's Speech.
However, we owe Lamarck the introduction in this book of the distinction between Vertebrate and Invertebrate animals, a distinction that we still use in current taxonomy.
