"Buffon's Natural History. Volume 06 (of 10)" by Buffon is an encyclopedic work published in 1756. This volume forms part of a monumental 36-volume collection covering all knowledge of natural sciences in the 18th century. Volume six focuses on wild animals, continuing Buffon's systematic exploration of quadrupeds. The work challenged religious orthodoxy by proposing an Earth older than biblical accounts and introduced secular explanations for natural phenomena. Buffon's attention to internal anatomy made him an early comparative anatomist, laying groundwork for evolutionary thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
