摘要: Konrad Gesner (1551), in one of the first widely distributed bestiaries, grouped animals that eat meat, a procedure Linnaeus (1758) followed and identified as order Ferae. The grouping mammals were carnivorous was further refined by Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire Cuvier (1795), (1800, 1817), Gray (1821), Temminck (1835–41). They inferred relationships among species groups primarily on basis morphological similarities dentition.
