Articles liés à How Zoologists Organize Things: The Art of Classification
Synopsis
Humankind’s fascination with the natural world all began as a simple matter of survival. From differentiating the edible from the toxic to understanding predator and prey, our ancestors were obsessed with these essential discoveries.
Since, then, it’s got a little easier. Our enduring drive to understand the animal kingdom and all its mysteries has played a key role in our understanding of the planet, and ourselves – inspiring religious beliefs, scientific theories and much more. How Zoologists Organize Things dispels common myths and reveals astonishing truths, as well as highlighting how much we have to learn.
Long before the theories of Darwin, people have strived to piece together the mysteries of nature's intricate design; even early scientists knew that there was an order that united all living things and proposed various frameworks to explain this fundamental concept. From ancient folklore and religion to modern computer-driven systems, humanity's quest to classify life has left a rich and enduring legacy.
How Zoologists Organize Things tells the endlessly fascinating story of this process, documenting artistic trends and scientific discoveries as well as offering insights into our own place in nature.
