Zoology

Zoology (/zˈɒləi/, zoh-OL-luh-jee) or animal biology is the branch of biology that relates to the animal kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct, and how they interact with their ecosystems. The term is derived from Ancient Greek ζῷον, zōon, i.e. "animal" and λόγος, logos, i.e. "knowledge, study".

History

Ancient history to Darwin

The history of zoology traces the study of the animal kingdom from ancient to modern times. Although the concept of zoology as a single coherent field arose much later, the zoological sciences emerged from natural history reaching back to the works of Aristotle and Galen in the ancient Greco-Roman world. This ancient work was further developed in the Middle Ages by Muslim physicians and scholars such as Albertus Magnus. During the Renaissance and early modern period, zoological thought was revolutionized in Europe by a renewed interest in empiricism and the discovery of many novel organisms. Prominent in this movement were Vesalius and William Harvey, who used experimentation and careful observation in physiology, and naturalists such as Carl Linnaeus and Buffon who began to classify the diversity of life and the fossil record, as well as the development and behavior of organisms. Microscopy revealed the previously unknown world of microorganisms, laying the groundwork for cell theory. The growing importance of natural theology, partly a response to the rise of mechanical philosophy, encouraged the growth of natural history (although it entrenched the argument from design).

    Zoology

    by: Cooper Temple Clause

    He said, "How is it you never write me a nice one?
    They're always so hard to sit through"
    He said, "I know they're good ones, but darling,
    they're hard ones to hear,
    when I've been, where I've been with you"
    So here's an attempt to pull heart in lament
    to the things I know I put you through
    I just hope that it does you an adequate justice
    It's all that, the least I can do
    So I pick up my pen, try to just spout it out
    But I can't seem to find what to say
    Because something just gets in the way
    That didn't quite go to plan
    Maybe I'm just not man enough, strong enough, up to the test
    Just sing from the heart
    Forget wit, story arc
    And a need to put something to rest
    To think how you saved me when everyone hated me
    How do you sum that shit up?
    There just isn't room in a quaint little tune
    to shed light on the dark you lit up
    But I'll grab my guitar
    and we'll both see how far I can get
    with what I have to say
    But then something just gets in the way
    Darling, don't fret
    I may not fail you yet
    I can feel it, it's coming, I swear
    There's still time to write
    This could be out of sight
    if you can just hang on in there
    How can I hold a flame to the hurt and the pain
    to the laughter, the grace and the lust?
    How the creature inside seemed to flee from the fight
    To do right, to be good, to be just
    But you taught me to love and you taught me to fight
    And I fought with you all of the way
    Because something just gets in the way
    I started out trying to write you a nice one
    But something just got in the way
