Comparing different species to discover functions and how they evolved. Insight into the evolution of physiological systems: diverse solutions to survival that evolved in animals (i. e. ability to survive freezing) Using animal models to learn more about human physiology: scientific method, francis bacon and rene descartes: formalized ideal for scientific method, governments of england and france world, science and scientific methods. Academies of science promoted sound science throughout the. Combinations of disciplined creativity, careful observation, logical thinking and honest analysis.

Control groups ensure that observed differences are due to the treatment factor being tested.
