The doctrine of morphology as the scientific study of the form
and structure of organisms was founded by Aristotle. He defined
morphology as the search for a common construction plan for all
structures, while adhering to a strict methodological process.
Where similarities can be found, the relation between form and
function requires further clarification. This scientific approach
set Plato’s best student apart from the early Greek natural philosophers and to this day is the principle method employed in all areas of basic research.
