It moves beyond the traditional belief that biogeography is born from a synthesis of Darwin and Wallace and focuses on the important pioneering work of earlier practitioners such as Zimmermann, Stromeyer, de Candolle and Humboldt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracing the academic history of biogeography over the decades and centuries, this book recounts the early schisms in phyto and zoogeography, the shedding of its bonds to taxonomy, its adoption of an ecological framework and its beginnings at the dawn of the 20th century. This book assesses the contributions of key figures such as Zimmermann, Humboldt and Wallace and reminds us of the forgotten influence of plant and animal geographers including Stromeyer, Prichard and de Candolle, whose early attempts at classifying animal and plant geography would inform later progress.\u0026lt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eOrigins of Biogeography\u003c\/i\u003e is a science historiography aimed at biogeographers, who have little access to a detailed history of the practices of early plant and animal geographers.
