4．About 2，400 years ago in ancient Greece，Aristotle was born.It was a period when the Greeks highly respected great thinkers and teachers，such as Pythagoras，Socrates，Democritus，and Plato.Many historians believe that Aristotle was greater than all of them.
Aristotle is called "the father of biology."Many of his discoveries are still considered correct today.For example，it was Aristotle who first wrote that dolphins are not fish-through close observation，he had found out that they give birth to their babies rather than laying eggs，and that mother dolphins feed milk to their young.
Aristotle's way of grouping animals may have been his most important achievement.in biological science.Experts used his system for over 2，000 years.In 1758，a Swedish scientist discovered a new way of grouping animals.Aristotle placed the animals into two groups：those with blood and those without.In fact，his way of grouping，though a little bit different，was approximately the same as the modern grouping system of vertebrates and invertebrates.
Professor Nardo wrote："Although Aristotle paid much attention to the importance of evidence（證據(jù)），he failed to realize that doing experiment is almost always the best method of finding it.Yet，when he did simple and basic experiments，Aristotle was able to make mostly correct conclusions."
He also wrote that"Aristotle's influence on the future growth of knowledge was both negative and positive..." For example，Aristotle believed that the planets went around the Earth ，not the Sun.Because the later scientists believed in him blindly，their progress in astronomy was stopped.However，he added that many of Aristotle's ideas brilliantly provided directions for modern discoveries.
