Tiberius Cornelis Winkler
Tiberius Cornelis Winkler (1822 – 1897) was a Dutch anatomist, zoologist and natural historian, and the second curator of geology, paleontology and mineralogy at Teylers Museum in Haarlem.〔His successor in this role was Eugène Dubois, who discovered ''Pithecanthropus'' (Java Man, now considered a subspecies of ''Homo erectus'').〕 Besides translating the first edition of Charles Darwin's ''Origin of Species'' (1860), he wrote a great number of works popularising science, particularly the life sciences.
==Early life==
Winkler was born in 1822, in the Frisian capital of Leeuwarden. There, he attended primary school until his 12th or 13th year. His father subsequently arranged his apprenticeship to a grain merchant. He used his wages to educate himself in French, then German, and then English. This desire for self-education and self-discipline would characterise Winkler throughout his life.
He married in 1844 and began to study medicine in order to become a surgeon. In 1850, Winkler moved to Haarlem with his wife and four children, to begin his education at the local surgeons' college. He graduated two years later, and set up practice in Nieuwediep. His first patient, a fisherman, complained of being stung by a weever fish. His studies took him to the library of Teylers Museum in Haarlem, and his subsequent article on the weever in the popular journal ''Album der Natuur'' established him as an expert on fishes.
