When the obvious still doesn't exist.

It was obvious already in 2005, but I didn't want to leave footprints... along with a few other things.

Does biolology include the social and cultural aspects - as antropology do. Or is there a better greek word for that ?

Response

Great question! Biology focuses on the natural aspects of life—organisms, ecosystems, physiology, genetics, and evolution. It does not typically include the social or cultural dimensions of life.

For the study of life including social and cultural aspects, especially human life, anthropology is indeed more appropriate. But if you're looking for a Greek-rooted term that could conceptually mean the study of life in all its dimensions—biological, social, and cultural, there isn’t a single classical term that fully captures that. However, we can explore or even coin one!

Here are a few ideas:

1. Bioanthropology

A modern interdisciplinary field that combines biology and anthropology. It studies humans from both biological and cultural perspectives.

2. Biokoinology (coined term)

From:

• βίος (bios) – life
• κοινωνία (koinonia) – community or society
• -λογία (-logia) – study of

This could mean the study of life in its social context.

3. Zoēlogy (ζωή – zoē = life in a broader, existential sense)

While bios refers to biological life, zoē refers to life as a state of being—more abstract and philosophical. A term like zoēlogy could be imagined as the study of life in its fullest sense, including meaning, culture, and society.

Would you like to explore more coined or historical terms like this? Or are you thinking of using such a word for a project or concept?

antropology is a greek word to study humans, but what is a similar greek word for the study of life in general ?

The Greek word for the study of life in general is "biology", which comes from:

• βίος (bios) meaning life
• -λογία (-logia) meaning study of or discourse

So, biology literally means the study of life, just as anthropology (from ἄνθρωπος – anthropos, meaning human) means the study of humans.

If you're interested in other Greek-derived terms for different fields of study, I’d be happy to explore more with you! Would you like a list of similar Greek-rooted disciplines?
