Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (398 words)
His father, Jean Daubenton, a notary, intended him for the church, and sent him to Paris to study theology, but he was more interested in medicine.
Jean's death in 1736 set his son free to choose his own career, and in 1741 he graduated in medicine at Reims, and returned to his native town planning to practise as a physician.
At about this time, Buffon, also a native of Montbard, was about to bring out a grand treatise on natural history, and in 1742 he invited Daubenton to assist him by providing the anatomical descriptions for that work.
