Alexander von Humboldt  

Definición

  • Alexander von Humboldt is commonly called a “Renaissance man” because he was so talented in many subjects, notably natural history, geology, mining, engineering, anthropology, cartography, botany, political science, and diplomacy. Humboldt's inquisitive mind and ability to master many separate subjects dovetailed with the social conditions of the era in which he lived.
