Study Notes
Pre-Experimental Biology
- Before the establishment of experimental biology, naturalists primarily described the diversity of life forms and their classification.
- The initial focus of biology before the establishment of experimental biology was on the description of diverse forms of life.
- Prior to the invention of microscopes, the main method used for the description of diverse forms of life was observation and classification of macroscopic features.
Reductionist Biology
- In later day reductionist biology, the structure and function of individual components drew more attention.
- Naturalists mainly utilized dissection and observation of dead specimens in the later day reductionist biology.
