Richard Semon (1859-1918) was a German zoologist and philosopher who made significant contributions to the study of memory. His book, "The Story of Memory," is a classic work that provides a comprehensive overview of the history of memory research.

Semon was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1859. He studied zoology at the University of Jena and received his doctorate in 1884. After graduation, Semon worked as a research assistant at the Zoological Institute in Jena. In 1891, he was appointed professor of zoology at the University of Giessen.

Semon's research interests were wide-ranging, but he is best known for his work on memory. In 1895, he published a paper entitled "The Mneme," in which he proposed a new theory of memory. Semon's theory was based on the idea that memories are stored in the brain as physical traces. These traces are formed by the repeated stimulation of the brain by sensory stimuli.

Semon's theory of memory was controversial at the time, but it has since been confirmed by a wealth of experimental evidence. Today, Semon is recognized as one of the founders of the modern study of memory.
