- Der sogenannte Pariser Akademiestreit von 1830 war ein wissenschaftlicher Disput zwischen den beiden französischen Naturforschern Georges Cuvier und Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire vor der Pariser Académie des sciences. Der Streit begann bei der Akademiesitzung am 15. Februar 1830, als Saint-Hilaire die Arbeit zweier junger Forscher lobend vorlegte, in der die Anatomie der Wirbeltiere mit der der Weichtiere verglichen wurde. Cuvier erhob Einspruch und startete damit eine der berühmtesten Debatten in der Geschichte der Biologie. Sie zog sich in acht öffentlichen Disputen bis zum 15. April 1830 hin, wobei Cuvier als der Sieger des Streits gilt. (de)
- The Cuvier–Geoffroy debate of 1830 was a scientific debate between the two French naturalists Georges Cuvier and Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. For around two months the debate occurred in front of the French Academy of Sciences. The debate centered primarily on animal structure; Cuvier asserted that animal structure was determined by an organism's functional needs while Geoffroy suggested an alternative theory that all animal structures were modified forms of one unified plan. In terms of scientific significance, the discussion between the two naturalists showed stark differences in scientific methods as well as general philosophy. Cuvier is generally considered the winner of the debate, as he always came better prepared to the debate with overwhelming amounts of evidence and more logical arguments, as well as having more political and academic influence. Despite this, Geoffroy's philosophy is seen as early support of evolution theory and parts of the theory of the "unity of composition" are generally more accepted over Cuvier's fixed species philosophy.
