Answer 1

Rudolf Virchow (1821 - 1902, German pronunciation Fir-khov) was a pathologist, anthropologist and statesman who pioneered new concepts of pathology by applying the cell doctrine to the concept of disease.
Virchow received the M.D. degree from Friedrich Wilhelm Institute of the University of Berlin in 1843. During his internship he conducted research into pathological histology. in 1847 he was one of the founders of the journal Archiv für pathologische Anatomie und Physiologie und klinische Medizin (Archive for Pathological Anatomy, Physiology and Clinical Medicine). In 1847 he was appointed lecturer in pathological anatomy in the University of Berlin, and in 1848 he conducted investigations of typhoid in Upper Silesia (a noted mining district). In 1848 and 1849 he published the journal Medizinische Reform (Medical Reform). He was appointed professor of pathological anatomy at the University of Würzburg in 1849 and professor of pathological anatomy at the University of Berlin in 1856. His political activity includes election to the Prussian Diet in 1861 and service in the Reichstag from 1880 to 1893. Virchow was on the whole antagonistic to role of bacteria in causing disease, and he rightly argued that the discovery of the presence of a certain organism in a certain disease did not always mean that that organism was the cause of the disease. He suggested, long before toxins were discovered, that some bacteria might produce these substances. Though it is sometimes said that Virchow was antagonistic to Darwin's theory of the origin of species by means of natural selection, the fact is that he accepted the theory as a hypothesis but during much of his later life continued to assert that so far there was not sufficient scientific evidence to justify its full acceptance. Therefore he was a medical pioneer of the highest caliber and hardly the crank that incomplete answers may make him out to be.

Answer 2

He was a biologist and naturalist in the 19th century. As I recall, he was one of Charles Darwin's biggest opponents and very anti-evolution.
