In "History of Animals" Aristotle analyzes "differences"--in parts,
activities, modes of life, and character--across the animal
kingdom, in preparation for establishing their causes, which are
the concern of his other zoological works. Over 500 species of
animals are considered: shellfish, insects, birds, fish, reptiles,
amphibians, and mammals--including human beings.
In Books I-IV Aristotle gives a comparative survey of internal
and external body parts, including tissues and fluids, and of sense
faculties and voice. Books V-VI study reproductive methods,
breeding habits, and embryogenesis as well as some secondary sex
differences. In Books VII-IX, Aristotle examines differences among
animals in feeding; in habitat, hibernation, migration; in enmities
and sociability; in disposition (including differences related to
gender) and intelligence. Here too he describes the human
reproductive system, conception, pregnancy, and obstetrics. Book X
establishes the female's contribution to generation.
The Loeb edition of "History of Animals" is in three volumes. A
full index to all ten books is included in the third (Volume XI of
the Aristotle edition).
