Russell is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the historical development and fundamental concepts of animal morphology, addressing various approaches to understanding the relationship between form and function in biological organisms. The opening of the work sets the stage for a discussion of the evolution of comparative anatomy from ancient to modern times. Russell introduces key figures in the field, beginning with Alcmaeon and Aristotle, elaborating on their contributions to anatomical observation and classification. The text highlights Aristotle’s foundational role in comparative anatomy, emphasizing his recognition of common structures across different species while also considering functional adaptations. Through this historical lens, Russell aims to illustrate the continuity of thought in animal morphology and addresses the interplay of various morphological theories that have developed over centuries.
