EspañolTHEODOR EIMER
'Gustav Heinrich Theodor Eimer' (1843–1898) was a German zoologist.
In 1875, he became a professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at the University of Tübingen.
He is credited with popularizing the term ''orthogenesis'' to describe an intrinsic drive in life towards perfection, a form of directed evolution. The "Eimer's organs" found in members of the mole family, especially in the Star-nosed Mole, are named after him. He described these organs in the European mole in 1871. 'Eimeria', a genus of parasitic protozoa, was also named after him.
