Alcide Charles Victor Marie Dessalines d’Orbigny (1802-1857) was a French naturalist who made major contributions in many areas, including zoology, paleontology, geology, archaeology, and anthropology. He was born in Couëron, France, to a ship’s physician and amateur naturalist. D’Orbigny is known for his extensive travels to South America between 1826 and 1833, where he collected over 10,000 natural history specimens. He described part of his findings in “La Relation du Voyage dans l’Amérique Méridionale pendant les annés 1826 à 1833” (Paris, 1824–47, in 90 fascicles). His contemporary, Charles Darwin, arrived in South America in 1832, and on hearing that he had been preceded, grumbled that D’Orbigny had probably collected “the cream of all the good things”. D’Orbigny was awarded the Gold Medal of the Société de Géographie of Paris in 1834
