	Natural history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 18th century and well into the 19th century, natural history as a term was frequently used to refer to all scientific studies, as opposed to political or ecclesiastical history.
		The term "natural history" alone, or sometimes together with archaeology, forms the name of many national, regional and local natural history societies that maintain records for birds (ornithology), mammals, insects (entomology) and plants (botany).
		The growth of natural history societies was also spurred due to the growth of British colonies in tropical regions with numerous new species to be discovered.
