Wikipedia description:

Alexander Winchell (December 31, 1824, in North East, New York – February 19, 1891, in Ann Arbor, Michigan) was an American geologist who contributed to this field mainly as an educator and a popular lecturer and writer. His views on evolution aroused controversy among his contemporaries; today the racism of these views is more cause for comment.
