Document Summary

Major events in the history of biology (cid:862)the subject matter of our investigations will be the various forms and manifestations of life, the conditions and laws controlling their existence, and the causes by which this is affected. The science, which occupies itself with these subjects, we shall designate by the name biology, or s(cid:272)ie(cid:374)(cid:272)e of life. (cid:863) this is the very first definition. Before (1600s), (cid:271)iologists (cid:449)e(cid:396)e(cid:374)"t (cid:272)o(cid:374)side(cid:396)ed as s(cid:272)ie(cid:374)tists, the(cid:455) (cid:449)e(cid:396)e called naturalists because at the time, biology was seen as an inferior science. All of these fields have exploded into a very diverse discipline, so no one now is ever a (cid:862)(cid:271)iologist(cid:863) si(cid:374)(cid:272)e e(cid:448)e(cid:396)(cid:455)thi(cid:374)g is so (cid:271)(cid:396)oad (cid:374)o(cid:449).
