Has Anything useful ever been achieved from the study of animals (zoology)

[Gaia262]

The most useless arm of biology, have to use big words to appear smart when nothing has been achieved.

That's not zoology , that's biochemistry.

my bad thought you said biology

Photosynthesis i guess​

By your definition literally the only useful fields are engineering

No specifically zoology, even botany is useful as you can synthesize drugs from plants, but zoology is useless.

zoology helps you understand the stability and distribution of animals in the environment, which in turn can helps us make policy decisions in regards to their environmental impact

Its common sense and would not need to exist if humans just stayed out and didn't interfere.

Ah, so you're just retarded, welcome to the ignore list.

Define "useful". That's such a vague term.

Science in a nutshell

Advancing human knowledge in a way that that actually benefits the human condition and advances society in general.

This is still very vague but I will try.

Firstly, aside from the many practical benefits derived from an understanding of animals and animal behaviour that I'll write about later, zoologists are also contributing to the body of scientific knowledge, which could be considered advancing society.

The biggest I can think about is entomologists (insect nerds) who have contributed to the agricultural industry by enabling the development of highly effective insect pest control techniques. Knowing insects life cycles also helps with learning how and when we can store our food/crops. Speaking about entomologists they have also made significant contributions to forensic science. Forensic pathologists can identify how long a body's been buried based on the stage of the life cycle of the insects found on the corpse. Entomologists also sometimes identify insects found on car radiators to pinpoint the locations through which vehicles have traveled or examine marks on the bodies of victims or suspects to tie them to specific insects and places.

The zoological study of fish has benefited the fishing industry in several ways. A growing understanding of the habits and habitats of fish was a big part of the development of the commercial fishing industry in the 19th century, and the research of modern marine biologists and ichthyologists (fish nerds) has led to the establishment of harvest limits and sustainable fisheries and improvements in aquaculture.

I am sure there are many more things I don't know about that zoology has contributed majorly towards.

Good post.

do you just know this shit off the top of your head?

I knew about the insect shit because my biology teacher often goes on tangents to what we're actually supposed to learn.

I searched it up to make sure I don't write anything that is incorrect and then I also found the fish stuff there.
