Description: In History of
Animals Aristotle analyzes "differences"--in parts, activities, modes
of life, and character--across the animal kingdom, in preparation for
establishing their causes, which are the concern of his other zoological works.
Over 500 species of animals are considered: shellfish, insects, birds, fish,
reptiles, amphibians, and mammals--including human beings.
In Books I-IV
Aristotle gives a comparative survey of internal and external body parts,
including tissues and fluids, and of sense faculties and voice. Books V-VI
study reproductive methods, breeding habits, and embryogenesis as well as some
secondary sex differences. In Books VII-IX, Aristotle examines differences
among animals in feeding; in habitat, hibernation, migration; in enmities and
sociability; in disposition (including differences related to gender) and
intelligence. Here too he describes the human reproductive system, conception,
pregnancy, and obstetrics. Book X establishes the female's contribution to
generation.
