Book I The grouping of animals and the parts of the human body. Aristotle describes the parts that the human body is made of, such as the skull, brain, face, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, thorax, belly, heart, viscera, genitalia, and limbs. Patiesi krāšņa vizīte vienmēr atvērtā muzejā. Tūlīt, jau grāmatu atverot, ir milzīgs dzīvnieku valstības koks (attēlu ievietoju zemāk), kas man īpaši patika, jo palīdz saskatīt dzīvnieku radniecību un kopsakarības, kā arī vienā atvērumā, saglabājot visa dzīvā vienotības principu, parāda dzīvās dabas daudzveidību. Tas vislabāk patika arī dēlam. Ja mājās ir enciklopēdija par Latvijas dzīvo dabu, tad šī ir lieliska grāmata, lai paplašinātu redzesloku par pasauli.

Discovering it is a book aimed at children helped though. It clearly isn’t meant to be a thorough exploration of the different taxonomic groups, drilling down into the science behind the weirder traits, but an overview to introduce people to the basic ideas of grouping, evolution, and shared traits and to provide some visual examples (both well known and obscure). And it does that well. My wants out of a book like this are not the same as the target audiences, so I can’t rate it higher but what it aims to do it does very well. It isn’t attempting to be a children’s DK eyewitness book on animals (do children still use those? I loved them) but a beautiful reference book of much more select examples that is to be treasured as well as educational. And I don’t think you have to be 8-12 to appreciate it as that either. If I had got this age 8, it probably would have become one of my most precious and loved books. So 3 and a half stars from adult me (I just wanted more facts!) but probably 5 or even 6 stars from 8-year-old me! Waggoner, Ben (9 June 1996). "Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.)".

Abstract

Leroi, Armand Marie (2014). The Lagoon: How Aristotle Invented Science. Bloomsbury. pp.69–. ISBN 978-1-4088-3620-0. Aristotle: *Historia Animalium*: Volume 1, Books I-X: Text (Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries) Generally seen as a pioneering work of zoology, Aristotle frames his text by explaining that he is investigating the what (the existing facts about animals) prior to establishing the why (the causes of these characteristics). The book is thus an attempt to apply philosophy to part of the natural world. Throughout the work, Aristotle seeks to identify differences, both between individuals and between groups. A group is established when it is seen that all members have the same set of distinguishing features; for example, that all birds have feathers, wings, and beaks. This relationship between the birds and their features is recognized as a universal. Gessner's Historia animalium is based on classical sources. It is compiled from ancient and medieval texts, including the inherited knowledge of ancient naturalists like Aristotle, Pliny the Elder, [1] and Aelian. [2] Gessner was known as "the Swiss Pliny." [3] For information he relied heavily on the Physiologus. [3]

In other cases, errors may have been wrongly attributed to Aristotle. [18] Katrin Weigmann wrote "[Aristotle's] statement that flies have four legs was repeated in natural history texts for more than a thousand years despite the fact that a little counting would have proven otherwise." [19] However, the historian and philosopher of biology John S. Wilkins notes that Aristotle did not say "all flies have four legs"; he wrote that one particular animal, the ephemeron or mayfly, "moves with four feet and four wings: and, I may observe in passing, this creature is exceptional not only in regard to the duration of its existence, whence it receives its name, but also because though a quadruped it has wings also." Mayflies do in fact walk on four legs, the front pair not being adapted for walking, so, Wilkins concludes, Aristotle was correct. [18] Thank you for your contribution!

[10] Aristotle recorded that the embryo of a dogfish was attached by a cord to a kind of placenta (the yolk sac).

The text contains some claims that appear to be errors. Aristotle asserted in book II that female humans, sheep, goats, and swine have a smaller number of teeth than the males. This apparently false claim could have been a genuine observation, if as Robert Mayhew suggests [16] women at that time had a poorer diet than men; some studies have found that wisdom teeth erupt in men more often than women after age 25. [17] But the claim is not true of other species either. Thus, Philippa Lang argues, Aristotle may have been empirical, but he was quite laissez-faire about observation, "because [he] was not expecting nature to be misleading".
