Biology for Those Who Want to Understand and Forgive the Praying Mantis Female

Biology — is the science of life, but everyone knows this, just as they know that biology is considered the most important of the sciences, as it studies us among other living organisms. Confucius would say on this matter: a noble person studies the science that studies themselves, while a worthless person neglects it. And he would be a thousand times right. Biology has a very unusual history. On the one hand, humanity began to accumulate knowledge about living nature from the moment of its appearance. The first humans already understood botany and zoology — they knew which plants were edible and which were not, and studied the behavior of animals to hunt them. On the other hand, biology was only distinguished as a separate science in the early 19th century, when scientists finally noticed that all living things have something in common, a set of common properties and characteristics. This book will tell about what distinguishes the living from the non-living, how life appeared, and much more.
