课程内容简介：《生命科学史》 属于科学史范畴，课程通过介绍生命科学重要学科、重要发现和重要人物，系统地展示了生命科学产生和发展全貌。课程在讲解生命科学基本知识的同时，注重介绍知识产生和发展的社会和历史背景、注重思维方式的变化和发展，旨在使学生全面系统地了解生命科学基本知识及其产生和发展历程，在拓宽学生的知识面和视野的同时，培养和提高学生的科学素养和独立分析问题的能力。本课程将采用（美）洛伊斯·N·玛格纳著的《生命科学史》为主要教材，介绍了生物学的起源、古希腊科学与哲学、文艺复兴时期的科学革命，以及解剖学、胚胎学、细胞学、微生学物、动物及人体生理学、进化论、遗传学和分子生物学的产生和发展。本课程设定为通识课程，欢迎文理科学生选修。
Course Description: This course introduces undergraduate students to a generalist view of the past terrain of life sciences (the term “biology” was not coined until the 19th century). In an undergraduate survey, it is more important to paint a panoramic view of the whole forest than to enumerate the trees, but it is also important to stop and examine some of the individual trees. To achieve a balanced discussion of both generalist and and some specialist views, I chose Lois Magner’s A History of the Life Sciences (3rd edition) as the core text. The first five chapters of this book gave a generalist view of the Greek origin of life sciences stretching all the way back to Aristotle and Galen. The last six chapters transitioned to a specialist analysis of biological problems involving physiology, cytology, microbiology, genetics, and molecular biology. This course will be of interest to anyone who wants a basic understanding of the history of biology grounded in the Western tradition of natural philosophy.
