What enables humans to think scientifically? This book traces the development of Natural History from Aristotle to Darwin, demonstrating how the science of plants and animals emerged from common conceptions of folk biology. It applies a 'cognitive' perspective to explaining successive scientific incarnations and mutations of 'mankinds original stock of ideas'.
