Science is the systematic study, by observation and experiment, of the natural and physical world (Fig. 1.1). Science is characterised by a way of thinking and working, and, most fundamentally, by questioning. The knowledge and understanding that arise from this questioning are not in themselves science. They are the products of science, as is the technology that arises from this knowledge and understanding. Science is empirical, which means that when scientists ask questions, they seek to answer them by using evidence, in particular observational and experimental evidence. Biology as a field of study was named in the 19th century and arose from the studies of medicine and natural history, both of which date back to ancient times. The term ‘biology’ comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word or discourse). Biology asks questions about all living things, including plants, animals and micro-organisms. It asks questions about their structure and functioning, how and why they have changed over time and continue to change, about their interactions with each other and the environment, and about biodiversity and the continuity of life – looking at heredity and variation. These fields of interest in biology are grouped into subdivisions such as botany, zoology, microbiology, evolutionary biology, ecology and genetics. Given that FIGURE 1.1  Investigating in biology all living things are interdependent, biology is a fascinating science!
