George Shaw (1751-1813) was an English botanist and zoologist. In 1791 he became the assistant keeper of the natural history department at the British Museum. Shaw published several articles and books that covered different parts of natural history such as General Zoology and The Naturalist's Miscellany.
Natural history is the scientific research of plants or animals by observing rather than using experimental methods of study. This form of study dates back to ancient Greco-Roman societies.
As the study of animal and nature continued through the centuries the main concept of natural history shifted in the 18th century to the Great Chain of Being. This concept is a classical Christian and Western Medieval idea detailing a strict, hierarchical structure of all matter and life, believed to be decreed by the Christian God.
The research of natural history today has branched out to many different professional disciplines such as zoology, botany and geology. More species will continue to be discovered and documented just as past generations have done.
