	Zoology - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Zoology (Greek zoon = animal and logos = word) is the biological discipline which involves the study of animals.
		The real dawn of zoology after the legendary period of the Middle Ages is connected with the name of an Englishman, Edward Edward Wotton, born at Oxford in 1492, who practised as a physician in London and died in 1555.
		The most ready means of noting the progress of zoology during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries is to compare Aristotle's classificatory conceptions of successive naturalists with those which are to be found in the works of Caldon.

	Charles Darwin, 1809-1882
		It was during this lengthy voyage that Darwin obtained an intimate knowledge of the flora, fauna, and geology of these distinct areas.
		In this latter work, Darwin suggested that man descended from a hairy quadrumanous animal belonging to to the great anthropoid group, and related to the progenitors of the orangutan, chimpanzee, and gorilla.
		Darwin died suddenly, 19 April 1882, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

	Michael Ruse, "Speaking Out for Paleontology," 1999
		His Ever Since Darwin, a collection of essays published in 1977, was a bestseller, as have been several of his books since, especially Wondetful Life, his work on the long-lost organisms of the Burgess Shale, an outcrop in the Canadian Rockies.
		The history of evolution is not one of stately unfolding, but a story of equilibria, disturbed only 'rarely' (i.e., rather often in the fullness of time) by rapid and episodic events of speciation" (84).
		Since this history inevitably involved a great deal of German history, where the ontogeny/phylogeny analogy was taken most seriously, Gould immersed himself in that morphological tradition which had so infuriated Cuvier, Naturphilosophie: a holistic philosophy stressing that the most significant features of organic life are the isomorphisms which link organism to organism.

	Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002)
		A paleontologist by strict profession, Gould is perhaps better recognized for his contributions to evolutionary theory and the philosophy and history of science.
		He currently holds the position of Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology, and Professor of Geology at Harvard University, and is also curator for Invertebrate Paleontology at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology.
		Not only does it make forcefully evident where Jean Baptiste Lamarck, Alfred Russel Wallace, and Charles Darwin himself were wrong — without in the least detracting from their respective accomplishments — it also explains specifically how evolution is now thought to work.
