Education Sternfeld was the son of a merchant in Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia. He was educated in a local gymnasium (Germany), gymnasium and initially entered university in 1903 to study medicine at Freiburg im Breisgau, Freiburg, but he switched to studying natural science at Bonn. In 1907 he returned to Freiburg, to obtain his Doctor of Philosophy, Dr. Phil., with a dissertation on the biology of mayfly, mayflies under the guidance of evolutionary biologist August Weismann. Museum employment and First World War Sternfeld's first appointment was alongside herpetologist Gustav Tornier at the Museum für Naturkunde ...

Reptiles Described In 1912
Reptiles, as most commonly defined are the animals in the class Reptilia ( ), a paraphyletic grouping comprising all sauropsids except birds. Living reptiles comprise turtles, crocodilians, squamates (lizards and snakes) and rhynchocephalians (tuatara). As of March 2022, the Reptile Database includes about 11,700 species. In the traditional Linnaean classification system, birds are considered a separate class to reptiles. However, crocodilians are more closely related to birds than they are to other living reptiles, and so modern cladistic classification systems include birds within Reptilia, redefining the term as a clade. Other cladistic definitions abandon the term reptile altogether in favor of the clade Sauropsida, which refers to all amniotes more closely related to modern reptiles than to mammals. The study of the traditional reptile orders, historically combined with that of modern amphibians, is called herpetology. The earliest known proto-reptiles originated aroun ...
