What does «historia natural» mean in Spanish?
- Study of plants and animals in the wild, and the environments in which they live. Also included are those aspects of geology that can be done in the field. Natural history encompasses scientific research, but is not limited to it, but involves the systematic study of any category of natural objects or organisms, so that while it ranges from studies in the ancient Greco-Roman and medieval Arab world to the naturalists of the European Renaissance working almost in isolation, natural history today is an umbrella of disciplines cross-cutting many specialized sciences; for example, geobiology has a strong multidisciplinary nature. The work of naturalists is observation, interpretation, collection, and classification, rather than experiments. People who study natural history are called naturalists. Charles Darwin was a naturalist. They were among the first to explore the world. They were the first to study the Amazon and other tropical places. Naturalists find new species and classify plants and animals.
