He best known for coining the word [[dinosaur]], meaning "terrible lizard" in Latin. Despite some speculation that he also was a [[creationist]], he proposed that man evolved from fish in "The Nature of Limbs" in 1849.  Having said that, he was more spiritually inclined than [[Charles Darwin]] and heavily criticized some of his ideas.
    
[[Thomas Huxley]] (known as "Darwin's Bulldog") embarked on a vicious smear campaign against Owen in an attempt to discredit him.
