THE HISTORY AND INTRODUCTION

This is my first ever blog, and down here is a brief account on Zoology and its History.

ZOOLOGY or animal biology is a diverse field. It not only deals with the study of animals' life but also emphasizes different modes and programs on the conservation of these natural heritages. Every person needs to have at least a faint knowledge of not only the names of animals but also their history and habitat. We have been deriving lots from nature, it's an overall inspiration for anything modern invented by man. Animals, in the same way, have been a help and inspiration to man since times immemorable. They were and are still used in various fields of the modern world to derive profits.

While the usage of these beings is so significant to mankind, adequate measures and programs for their conservation have been made and should be effectively carried out.

The zoological history traces the study of the animal kingdom from ancient times, the concept of zoology as an independent coherent field was architected in much later times, but its study had always been significant.

The history reaches back to the biological works carried out by Aristotle and Galen back in the ancient Greco-Roman world. This was further taken forward during the middle ages by Muslim physicians and scholars like Albertus Magnus. Zoology was later revolutionized in Europe during the Renaissance and the early modern period which led to the discovery of many new animals. The revolutionaries used experimental and careful observation in physiology, Naturalists such as Carl Linnaeus, Jean-Baptiste Lamark began to classify the diversity of life and started to main bring up fossil record, they also started the study on animal behavior later called Ethology. Which now proves

to be immeasurably important to trace human evolution, behavior, and disease. During the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries zoology became a rapidly growing professional scientific discipline. A huge amount of contribution of naturalists of these periods helped in understanding the interaction of animals with their environment, the way their behavior changes with any change in the environment, it laid the foundation for many other fields such as ecology and biogeography.

This didn't stop there, the scientist then was interested in knowing the internal aspects of the body now known as anatomy. This unfolded the presence of molecular structures present in the body, which leads the way to other disciplines like cell biology and molecular biology, which describe the fundamental basis of life.

Many advancements were made and still continue to be adding to the journal of zoological sciences.
