Adolf Herluf Winge (19 March 1857 – 10 November 1923) was a Danish zoologist.
Biography
As a young student, along with his brother Oluf, Winge was interested in small mammals, particularly moles, shrews and insectivora. He studied mammalian dentition and produced a comparison of cusp similarities. He worked at the Zoological Museum in the University of Copenhagen from 1885. A major work was his three volumes of E Museo Lundii on the extinct fauna of South America with 75 plates that he drew. He also studied the animal remains found in the kitchen-middens of Denmark.[1][2]
Winge was described as a Lamarckist by some authors.[3]
