Abstract

Institutionally, Cuvier's program has developed in an area foreign to the medical sciences; nonetheless, from a epistemological point of view, his theoretical concerns coincided with those that guided a big part of this field of research. His comparative anatomy was a resource for the development of physiology; which was view as being the study of animal economy or animal organization. From this point of view, his posterity isn't in Darwin, like is very often considered, but in Claude Bernard.

Key words: Comparative anatomy, history of physiology, G. Cuvier, history of biology.
