Abstract

The book was called the History of Animals, and is one of several texts which Aristotle is know to have written on the natural sciences. The History of Animals is an attempt to find patterns in the anatomy, behaviour, and habitats of the animals Aristotle found around him, Man included. It mentions around 500 different species, split approximately evenly between birds, terrestrial animals, and marine creatures. Of particular interest are the quite astonishingly accurate observations on marine life.
