  1. Aristotle's anatomical philosophy of nature.Christopher E. Cosans - 1998 - Biology and Philosophy 13 (3):311-339.

In some cases, these interventions seem extensive enough to qualify as experiments.

    Aristotle is often named as the first zoologist or biologist because of his writings on animals. Although Aristotle’s major intention in these books was to illustrate his ideas of how knowledge and understanding might advance, at least one modern biologist (C. Darwin) has recognized Aristotle's depth and breadth as being of surviving merit. Of greater surprise is the ongoing attention that his works continue to receive, including publications in contemporary scientific journals. This review identifies 38 peer-reviewed papers on various topics (...)
