Starting off with the 1500’s, it is clear that the biological sciences were no were close to what we see them as today. Science was more of a mesh of math physiology, biology, physics and the like. However their were some key events that

Following this insight into reproduction Benedu would discover meiosis in 1885. Now the idea that sex cells differ and how half of an offsprings traits come from each parent could be established. Howeve 1885 was also a big year in that Benz invented the gasoline powered automobile, and the photoelectric effect was also discovered by Hertz. Things would get a little hotter when the Curie’s discovered rdium and polonium in 1898!

Following a similer theme in 1546, Girolamo, Fracastoro was one of the first to explain how diseases were contafious and could be passed on through various vctors (xrefer 1). Obvioulsy none of the details had been yet worked out but the idea that different diseses could spread through people must have proved very usefull in disease prevention! Also around this time in 1543 the idea that the planets revolve around the sun was introduced by Copernicus. 1543 was when “On the Workings of the Human Body”, was published by Andreas Versalius, and in 1550 false libs strated to be constructed by Ambrose Pare!

A great breakthrough came in 1796 when Edward Jenner invented the first smallpox vaccination! He realized a much milder form of the disease found in cows could be introduced to humans allowing them to form antibodies and a resistance to the deadily disease (Edward Jenner 1,2). Around this time in 1793 Whitney would invent the cotton gin. In 1795 the British navy would prevent scurvy with limes and in 1799 the Rosetta Stone was discovered.

specific relate to the field of biology we study today. In 1530 a man by the name of Otto Brunfel was one of the original writers of medical bibliographies and is famous for Herbarum vivae Eicones (W.P. Watson…1) This was a bringing together of medical information so it could be refrenced quickly and efficiently. A few years earlier in 1517 Martin Luther had posted his 95 thesis. In addition to this the Native American’s cure for scurvy was found in 1535 , and also in 1935 Henry the VIII declared he was head of the Anglican church!

With all the microscopic techniques that had been evolving it was now time for Robert Brown to discover the cell nucleus in 1831! He was able to classify a central structure in all eukaryotic cells, it’s full purpose yet to be discovered! Jumping back a bit Dalton had published the periodic table in 1808, Avagadro invented the mole in 1811 and in 1839 Goodyear invented vulcanized Rubber. All of these representing some of the great advancements that where taking place in chemisty which paralleles biological breakthroughs.

Winding down twaord the end of the 1500’s in 1590, Zacgarias Janssen develops the first compiound microscope. These microscopes only had about a 3x to 9x magnification (Founding Fathers of…1). Now the idea was now out there and a entire new world of possibilities would be open for studying the biology of out planet! Around the same time in 1593 Galileo developed the first thermometer. A few years earlier in 1583 it was stated that the lens only focuses light! And in 1587 more work on anatomy was done when Giulio Cesare Aranzi detailed the ventricles and hippocampus!

With 1700’s we start to see more a of a resemblance to the knowledge base we posess today, as ideas and concepts are not just presented but further investigated and explained. In 1735 Carolus Linnaeus builds upon what has come before and writes “System Naturae” which explaines how to classify life on the planet. The system which is s
