Casanave was born in Navarra, Spain in about 1766. He was the thirteenth son of a lawyer and trader of Navarra. He emigrated in Georgetown (in modern Washington DC) in 1785, having only 200 pounds and being almost unable to speak English. However, before long, Casanave established his first business, a shop dedicated to the sale of salt (which was the cheapest in Baltimore), rum and sugar, as well as oil, pork meat, pomatum, and powder for the hair. The establishment of the store, established despite his limited money, was probably carried out with the economic help of his friend George Washington, whom he knew through his uncle, Juan de Miralles (who was agent to the Continental Congress since 1778 until his death, in 1780, William W.

But Spallanzani did not believe that it was about hearing since bats flew very silently. He repeated his experiments by using improved ear plugs using turpentine, wax, pomatum or tinder mixed with water, to find that blinded bats could not navigate without hearing. He was still suspicious that deafness alone was the cause of disoriented flight and that hearing was vital that he conducted some rather painful experiments such as burning and removing the external ear, and piercing through the inner ear. After these operations, he became convinced that hearing was fundamental to normal bat flight, upon which he noted: By then he was too convinced that he suggested the ear was an organ of navigation, writing: The exact scientific principle was discovered only in 1938 by two American biologists Donald Griffin and Robert Galambos.
