This paper examines how, aside from philosophy and the more psychological arts, Aristotle's greatest contribution to modern
science is probably his writings on zoology. It looks at how, in the nine books of his "History of
Animals", Aristotle observes animals in their habitats and uses
dissection to discover the mysteries inside the animal body. Many of his
conclusions regarding the nature, habits, and
evolution of animals were, indeed, conducive to the conclusions that led to the science we know today.
