Louis Vialleton

Louis Marius Vialleton (December 22, 1859 - December 18, 1929) was a French zoologist and writer, best known for his advocation of non-Darwinian evolution.

Career

Vialleton was born in Vienne, Isère. He was the first professor of histology in the faculty of medicine at the University of Montpellier.[1] Vialleton rejected any form of continuous evolution and favoured saltationism.[2]

Vialleton attempted to refute gradual transformism from a morphological perspective in his work Morphologie générale Membres et ceintures des vertébrés tétrapodes: Critique morphotogique du transformisme (1924).[3] Zoologist Étienne Rabaud responded with a critical article.[3][4]

He contributed the chapter Morphologie et transformisme to the book Le Transformisme (1927). Vialleton's views were often misrepresented by creationists as anti-evolutionary. His writings were influential to creationists such as Douglas Dewar.[5] However, he did not reject evolution.[6] He was also incorrectly described as a critic of evolution by A. Morley Davies.[7]

Vialleton was a vitalist.[1][8]
