This work delves into the evolution of zoological ideas before the advent of Darwin’s theories, exploring various philosophical perspectives on the classification and understanding of animals throughout history. The text sets the foundation for discussing the development of concepts related to the origins and relationships of living beings. The opening of the publication begins with Perrier's preface, where he articulates the evolution of ideas akin to that of living beings, highlighting the complexities surrounding the classification and philosophy of zoology prior to Darwin. He acknowledges the influence of ancient mythologies and philosophies on mankind’s understanding of animals, noting how early humans attributed supernatural characteristics to animals and struggled to define life. The text reflects on how this confusion evolved through significant thinkers and periods, leading to vital advancements in classification, observation, and philosophical inquiry that would shape modern biological sciences, as indicated by references to historical scientists such as Aristotle and Galien.
