The Most Famous Biologists In History
When we say 'biologist', what do we mean, exactly? Marine biologists? Plant biologists? Maybe we're only considering zoologists... or could we consider those marvellous minds generally associated with other profound disciplines where biology plays only a minor role?
Most people, when quizzed about famous biologists (or zoologists. naturalists and so on) inevitably toss out Darwin's name. Those who have a particular love for the sea might invoke Jacques Cousteau. Besides being the most renowned oceanographer, he was the world's first marine conservationist.
A biology major or history major may know of a few more names - familiar to all but possibly in a different context. If you're still in secondary school, you too might have a few names to contribute.
Let's see how your list and ours match up, shall we? Your Superprof now presents some of the most famous biologists in history.

Aristotle (384–322 BC): classification of living things
Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle isn't often considered when it comes to great biological discoveries, but his work on the classification of living things was revolutionary. Referred to as the 'Ladder of Life', Aristotle's classification system was used up until the 19th century. He was the first person to recognise the relationships between species, and organise accordingly.
Galen (129–161 AD): early medical experimentation
The work of Greek physician Galen revolutionised the way medical research is conducted. Galen had a major influence on the development of many fields of medicine including anatomy, pathology, physiology and neurology. Notable discoveries include the identification of the differences between veins and arteries, and recognising that the larynx generates voice. Much of his hypotheses had scientific errors but his work in pioneering the field of medical research is undeniable.
