The search giant Google is celebrating the 374th birthday of Nicolas Steno with fossils,various earth bottom layers and a green surface google doodle on its homepage. Nicolas Steno (11 January 1638 – 5 December 1686) was a Danish Catholic cleric and scientist who was a pioneer in both anatomy and geology. By 1659, Steno had decided not to accept a statement as true simply because it was written in a book, but rather to rely on his own research. He is considered the father of geology and stratigraphy.
