Natural history, also known as Natural History, is another scientific tradition in addition to Western mathematical experimental science. It focuses on specific and individual detailed exploration to distinguish it from universal and essential principles. It is the oldest knowledge tradition of mankind and is inseparable from primitive living activities. It became famous in early modern Europe, and its greatest achievement was Darwinian evolution. Due to the huge scale and far-reaching impact of human technological activities, the relationship between man and nature has entered an extremely tense state. Revisiting the natural history tradition has become an important idea to understand and solve the dilemma of modern mankind.
