	Biology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the level of the cell, it is studied in cell biology, and at multicellular scales, it is examined in physiology, anatomy, and histology.
		For example, evolutionary biology leans heavily on techniques from molecular biology to determine DNA sequences, which assist in understanding the genetic variation of a population; and physiology borrows extensively from cell biology in describing the function of organ systems.
		Evolutionary biology is concerned with the origin and descent of species, as well as their change over time, and includes scientists from many taxonomically-oriented disciplines.

	History of biology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The history of biology dates as far back as the rise of various civilization as classic philosophers did their own ways of biology as a system of understanding life.
		Systematizing and classifying dominated biology throughout much of the 17th and 18th centuries, the most famous person here is Carl von Linné (1707-1778).
		In particular, totipotent stem cells have come to be recognized as a fundamental object of study for the understanding of developmental biology, and for medical therapies.

		Observing an unbroken chain of gradual developments, as the life of plants shades into that of animals, he acknowldges the complexity of the subject and seems almost to glimpse the pattern of evolution.

	UMass Amherst: Biology Department -> Greenhouse -> History
		The study of botany, and by extension, the greenhouses that are essential for botanical studies, has a long and distinguished history at the University of Massachusetts.
		Originally, the plans were for one large greenhouse with several rooms, but this was discouraged by some university officials, who felt that for aesthetic reasons a greenhouse of that size and profile would have to be hidden at some other part of the campus.
		This is an official Page/Publication of the Biology Department of the University of Massachusetts.

		This is the opposite pattern of oxidation and reduction from a nitrogen dioxide world, and indeed from the known biochemistry of Earth; it would be analogous to Earth's atmospheric carbon supply being in the form of methane instead of carbon dioxide.
		Chlorine is sometimes proposed as a biological alternative to oxygen, either in carbon-based biologies or hypothetical non-carbon-based ones.
		Chlorine is much less abundant than oxygen in the universe, however, and so it is unlikely that a planet will be able to form which has a large enough concentration of chlorine available on its surface to form the basis of a biochemistry.

		Because our current knowledge of biology is so broad, we cannot cover the history of it all, but rather, need to focus on one area to illustrate how our thought processes change.
		Human knowledge of biology began with prehistoric people and their experiences with edible vs. inedible, or even poisonous, plants, habits of animals and how best to capture them, etc. This information was verbally passed on to the next generation.
		From this he developed a theory of genetics that refuted the pangene/homunculus idea and enabled people to predict the outcome of a genetic cross if the genes of the parents were known.

		The purpose of this current report is to update the history of biology at ESU by recording some of the events that occurred during the last nearly four decades that had a significant impact on the students, faculty, and academic programs of the Division of Biological Sciences.
		Biology courses required for these degrees were organized in a common core of 12 semester hours plus additional required and elective courses for specific preprofessional programs or special interests of the students.
		Biology was reorganized as the Division of Biological Sciences at this time and biology majors in the B.S. plan were given an option to select a concentration in either general biology, botany, environmental biology, microbial and cellular biology, or zoology.

	Review of Short History of Biology, A
		The science of biology has grown—slowly at first, stopping and starting again, and building in the last century to a crescendo that has not yet reached its peak.
		Of course, although the focus here is to discuss the history of biology and the biological sciences, it is impossible to do so without talking a great deal about their content (as is generally true with histories of science).
		It’s companion piece, however, A Short History of Chemistry, tends to suffer less than its defects and would be rated correspondingly higher.

		A History of Molecular Biology is the captivating tale of the origins of one of the most influential modern scientific disciplines and the story of its amazing progress...The great advantage of this work is that it does not simply follow the chronological order of events.
		I wholeheartedly agree: the book is indeed a work of scholarship, which, in addition to outlining the history of an exciting period in the development of biology, includes much thought provoking comment.
		The book has a certain charm to it, and it is interesting to have another Rashomonic view of the history where Watson and Crick do not occupy all of the stage and where the names of Luria, Delbrück and other members of the phage school do not even appear in the index.

		Renewed interest in natural history began to increase by the 16th century, and over the next few hundred years there were many studies carried out by what we would today call amateur naturalists.
		One of the early professional naturalists that made significant contributions to marine biology was Charles Darwin.
		Sir Charles Wyville Thomson (Professor of Natural History at the University of Edinburgh, and director of the civilian scientific staff on the Challenger) published the findings of the Challenger expedition in a series known as the Challenger Reports.
