Claim in Intro
What gives Cuvier pride of place as "the founder ... of the comparative method of organismal biology, and functional anatomy, the essence of which is that the knowledge of structure acquires meaning only when the purpose is known" ? As opposed to Aristotle as a comparative biologist on the one hand, and on the other, a number of earlier biologists and doctors (Galen, e.g.) who were preoccupied with function as well as structure?
I'm not presuming to change the article or anything; it's more that I am curious about the implicit distinctions being made here... Thanks, Brian P. Long 13:40, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
