"Zoology is the branch of biology that focuses on the structure, function, behaviour and evolution of animals.

Modern zoology arrived with the invention of the microscope, but it would be a mistake to leave out the extremely important contributions of Charles Darwin. With Darwin\'s Theory of Evolution, understanding the relationship between humans and animals increased and further spurred interest in animals because humans were thought by some to have descended from them. As Darwin\'s Theory gained acceptance, humans became part of the animal kingdom in a way that was both inclusive and humbling.

Zoologists that followed Darwin often studied animals in relationship to humans. Knowledge of the possible relationships of animals changed some classifications, and studies in zoology continue to refine animal classifications.

The present book discusses all the aspects of Zoology and its related sciences. The text is arranged in a lucid form and every effort have been made to make the present book more concise and precise. The present book will be useful for the students, researchers, teachers of Zoology and its related fields." (jacket)
