This document outlines four reasons to study biology: 1) human existence depends on interdependence with other living things, 2) greater biological knowledge has allowed advances like agriculture and medicine, 3) humans are naturally curious about themselves and their place in the world, and 4) ongoing biological discovery can improve lives and ensure a healthy planet for the future.

1. Why study
biology?

2. Interdependence
Human existence
depends on the existence
of other living things on
Earth.

3. Advancement
The first humans learned things
about nature for basic survival.
Greater knowledge of plants
and animals allowed for the
development of agriculture.
Greater knowledge of the
human body allowed for
solutions to medical problems.

4. Curiosity
Humans have always been
curious about themselves
and their place in the world.
Humans wonder about their
relationship to other living
things and the environment.

5. New Discoveries and
a Better Future
Even though biologists know a lot
about living things today, they always
discover new things about life.
Only with a thorough understanding
of living things can humans expect to
Improve their lives
Ensure the future health of our planet.
