Sir Richard Owen KCB FRS (1804-1892) in an 1860s portrait by Elliott & Fry. Owen was an English biologist, comparative anatomist, and paleontologist who coined the term dinosauria, from which we derive the word dinosaur. He was also an outspoken critic of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.
