interesting facts about life on earth

Biology—the scientific study of life—emerged in the ancient world when philosophers studied the diversity of life’s creatures, and medical experts of the day dissected bodies to see how they worked. Hundreds of years later, the invention of the microscope opened up the world of cells and microbes, and allowed scientists to understand the workings of life at the most basic level.
