प्रश्न
What is Biology? Name and define its three major branches.
उत्तर
Biology is the study of living beings, all plants and animals including humans. Biology had flourished greatly in ancient India from 2500 B.C. to 650 B.C. The roots of biology can be traced back to pre-historic periods when primitive man lived in jungles and caves. Biology has slowly grown through the ages, but developed very fast in the 20th century and is showing signs of even faster growth in the 21st century. Its three major branches are:
- Botany - the study of plants.
- Zoology - the study of animals.
- Human Biology - the study of human as a living organism and his relationship with other living organisms. The study of humans and their interaction with the society comes under Anthropology (Gk. anthropos: man; logos: study).
