Format
J. F. Meckel is Johann Friedrich Meckel, usually known as Meckel the Younger, an important German anatomist associated with comparative anatomy and embryology. Meckel the Younger was among the most important German anatomists of the early nineteenth century, working across human anatomy, pathological anatomy, embryology, teratology, and comparative anatomy. His System der vergleichenden Anatomie helped establish comparative anatomy as a systematic field in German medical science. Later medical historians ranked him extremely highly; Fielding H. Garrison described him as “the greatest comparative anatomist of Germany before Johannes Müller.”
