Richard Owen (1804–92) was a brilliant comparative anatomist who founded the Natural History Museum and coined the term 'dinosaur'. He was also a fierce critic of Darwin's theory of evolution. Published in 1894, this two-volume biography includes an essay by Thomas Huxley on Owen's contributions to anatomical science.
