The history of Animals by Aristotle

The History of Animals is a foundational scientific work by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, in which he investigates the anatomy, behavior, and classification of animals. Written in the 4th century BCE, this work is considered one of the earliest attempts to systematically study biology. Aristotle combines detailed observations with philosophical reasoning, aiming to understand the causes and differences among living creatures. The text laid the groundwork for zoology and remained influential in both medieval and modern scientific thought.
