Who studied biology first?

Published in History of Biology 1 min read

Aristotle is widely considered the first person to study biology systematically.

He dedicated significant time to observing and documenting the zoology of Lesbos and the surrounding seas, particularly the Pyrrha lagoon. His work involved detailed descriptions and classifications of various animal species, marking a foundational approach to the study of living organisms. This comprehensive observational and descriptive approach laid the groundwork for future biological investigations.
