In the first half of the 19th century, Jules Michelet rose as the leading historian on the French scene, in a terrain simultaneously marked by political (1830 Revolution, 1848 Revolution and the establishment of the Second Empire), social and scientific instabilities. Our hypothesis is that this environment allowed Michelet to search for tools and notions in the natural and life sciences that were emerging (embryology, teratology, geology, paleontology) for his historiography, focusing specifically on the context between 1830 and 1830. 1856, between the first publication of his L'Histoire de France and his first natural history book, L'Oiseau. This approach allowed the historian to produce a new type of history writing, concerned with internal organizations and new questions about temporality in the past-present relationship. However, if the works of the early 1830 are characterized by an idea of a fatalistic nature, their radicalization to the sciences of nature and life led their historiography, in a pre-Darwinian context and portrayed by the presence of the idea of a chain of beings, to operate in this period by an idea of the providence of nature
