Description
Nearly all the works Aristotle (384-322 BCE) prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious). They can be categorized as practical; logical; physical; metaphysical; on art; other; fragments.Tags

Drawn-out text that focuses on the inception of animals and the various processes that go along with this. All in all, I felt it was not too complicated and that there was a lot of overdone prose. I understand this is Aristotle, but I do not believe that this is one of his better works.
We read here about Aristotle's discoveries and assertions regarding reproduction. Beginning with a description of the structure, function, and location of the sex organs, he soon launches into the early theories to explain the process.
