Constantine Samuel Rafinesque

Constantine Samuel Rafinesque-Schmaltz, (22a Oktobro, 1783 – 18a Septembro, 1840) estis tutfakulo de la 19a jarcento kiu faris elstarajn kontributojn al botaniko, zoologio, la studo de prahistoriaj verkoj en pralingvistiko de Nordameriko kaj de Mezameriko.

Rafinesque estis ekscentra, kaj estis ofte portretita kiel "vaganta genio". Li estis memlernanto kiu elstaris en diversaj fakoj de la kono, kiel zoologio, botaniko, kiel verkisto kaj poligloto. Li verkis fekundege pri tiomaj diversaj temoj kiaj antropologio, biologio, geologio, kaj lingvistiko, sed estis honorita en neniu el ili dum sia vivodaŭro. Nuntempe sciencistoj interkonsentas ke li estis progresinto en sia epoko en multaj el tiuj fakoj.

Verkaro

Li nomigis ĉirkaŭ 6,700 dunomajn nomojn de plantoj.
