Map of Biology

Biology is the subject that studies life in all its forms, from the simple cell through to all the animals that inhabit the planet. In this map I lay out the subject of biology and how all of the sub-disciplines are related to each other: microbiology, genetics, bioengineering, anatomy, physiology, medicine, neuroscience, ecology, zoology to name but a few.
Biology spans the scales, from biophysics and biochemistry studying the basic elements of life, to the study of whole ecosystems and the environment. If there is one word that describes biology, it is complexity. There is a huge amount we still don’t understand about how life works, how it started and how it ended up with us.

As someone obsessed with biology, I'm pretty disappointed that the Map of Biology received the least views of all the sciences :'(

[@fiyahxr3250]

[@blanchett3418]

Is this the exact order we must study in order to learn more about biology?

[@mcmac8027]

The complexity and interrelatedness of the biological disciplines prove that other fields may not be mentioned here for some reason, like systematics and microbiology, and that others mentioned here like bioengineering may be classified in applications other than medicine, such as industry and safety and security. How else can these be better arranged and put altogether clearly in a video under 8 minutes? It's pretty cool!

[@greenboarder89]

psychology is not a science :)

[@Litt13F00t]

+Senpie What makes you say that? It uses the scientific method, and if you look at its long history and how its evolved over time it can be seen pretty clearly that it is about as much of a science as anything else we'd call science. Sweet name by the way.

[@IWantToStayAtYourHouse]

It is a science. Sure its not as rigorous as physics, chemistry or biology, but it still utilises the scientific method.

[@tobiasch0816]

I love these Maps so much, they are pure gold! Philosophy I imagine is very tough to make but would be extremly awesome too

[@dobkayaker]

These videos are good but I have two minor criticisms of this one: 1. Structural biology is concerned with the structure of large macromolecules. Amino acids are all small molecules so they fall more under the purview of biochemistry. Your description is almost verbatim one of the sentences from the opening paragraph of the Wikipedia page on structural biology, but I don't think that's correct. 2. Biomedical engineering is the field that makes artificial organs and other medical devices. Biotechnology uses living organisms or their products for our purposes. Synthetic biology creates synthetic organisms and is closely related to biotechnology, but the latter two fields aren't closely related to the first.

[@egorfadeev1308]

Biomedical engineering and Synthetic biology are parts of the biotechnology.

[@dobkayaker]

Egor Kalashnikov No, they're not. Pacemakers, prosthetic limbs, dialysis machines, to name a few examples, are all feats of biomedical engineering but not biotechnology because they aren't made from a living organism or its products.

[@egorfadeev1308]

Well, then it's more correct to say that there is 'medical tech' (biomedical engineering) and biotechnology.

[@CompBioQuest]

Hello, First, regarding structural biology the definition from the video is technically correct since when you study proteins from any size you get to change single amino acids from them to see the effect on function or folding. Secondly, due the depth of the video I agree with all the definitions. If I were to change anything would the the tone of the voice to sound a bit more energetic. Cheers

[@Ricky-zc8qm]

This is arguing semantics

[@sethapex9670]

You mentioned that bioinformatics is the field that uses computers to analyze genetic data when statistical methods aren't enough, but when statistical methods are enough, that is a field called quantitative genetics. And using it we can often tell whether a trait is genetic without having to know which specific genes are involved. It can also help give candidates for molecular genetic study to find the genes relating to those traits.

Map Of Philosophy por favor

[@popstars12able]

Yes maps of philosophy is a good idea

[@olivers.3144]

Markus Andreas Roth-Gross The question wether philosophy is a real science is a philosophical question on its own.

[@jamespolland958]

@@hydrochloricacid6731 Agree, but it would be cool. And it's not just in your opinion, it just isn't. Philosophy doesn't use the scientific method to figure stuff out.

[@jaronfeld123]

While that is a good points, I think that mathematics doesn't use the classical scientific method either. Philosophy can be science without specifically using the scientific method

[@suchitarastogi1566]

I love your maps, they are fantastic! Thank you for putting them together, they are super helpful. One nitpick - what about Microbiology? This is a VERY important subject, given that unicellular microorganisms vastly outnumber the multicellular organisms most people are familiar with. Of course, I may be biased, since I am a microbiologist...anyway, keep up the great work! I am blown away by the breadth of your knowledge, and have learned a ton about scientific fields I am less familiar with through your work.

[@williambaumler5873]

Thank you for all the effort you put into your great content! I love these videos and show them to many people. I know it’s impossible to fit every component of a field into these maps, but as someone who loves biogeography I think it’s the most major thing you missed. How species move and separate in the physical environment, and how those processes affect their evolutionary development was critical for uncovering the concept of evolution and it’s a huge field in its own right. Thanks again for all your hard work.
