Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm

Portrait engraving of Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm by J. Gerstner after a painting by J. Walch Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm (16 October 1758, Augsburg - 12 December 1811, Augsburg) was a Protestant pastor and natural history writer, probably best known for his monumental "''Unterhaltungen aus der Naturgeschichte''" ("Conversations from natural history") published originally in 19 volumes with posthumous additions extending it to 25 volumes. Three volumes dealt with human physiology and anatomy. He held that humans had descended from one pair following Biblical creation and argued that this made all humans equal. He wrote against slavery and the ill-treatment of people from other lands and cultures. Provided by Wikipedia
