Born: April 7, 1727, Aix-en-Provence Died: August 3, 1806. French naturalist in Paris. While in Senegal in 1748 as a clerk for the French East India Company, he studied the flora, fauna and minerals, and published the results in the Natural History of Senegal (1757). He is also known for criticizing C. Linnaeus's system, which focused only on certain characteristics, as an artificial system that did not reflect natural relationships, and for creating a unique classification system. His system aimed to take all characteristics into account, placed importance on the rank of families, and incorporated statistical methods, but it was not necessarily popular and was overshadowed by C. Linnaeus's system. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
[生]1727.4.7. エクサンプロバンス [没]1806.8.3. パリ フランスの博物学者。 1748年セネガルにフランス東インド会社の事務員として滞在中,動・植物相や鉱物の研究を行い,その結果は『セネガル博物誌』 (1757) として発表された。彼はまた,特定の性質だけに注目した C.リンネの体系は自然の類縁関係を反映しない人為的な体系であると批判し,独特の分類体系を作成したことでも知られる。すべての形質を考慮にいれた分類を志し,科のランクを重視し,統計的方法を導入するなどの特徴をそなえたものであったが,必ずしも普及せず,C.リンネの体系に圧倒された。 出典 ブリタニカ国際大百科事典 小項目事典ブリタニカ国際大百科事典 小項目事典について 情報 |
