The lagoon: How Aristotle invented science

Aristotle was one of the greatest philosophers in the history of Western thought. But he was also a scientist - the first. More than 2,000 years ago, by the shores of a lagoon on a Greek island, he began to examine the natural world as no-one had before him, and so laid the foundations of biology. Join Armand Leroi, Professor of Evolutionary Developmental Biology, to explore Aristotle's science - its genius, its errors and its lessons for 21st century science.
