Regarding the Great Aristotle

Saptadip Pramanik submits this question and asserts that the answer is Aristotle.

Yes, he wrote “De Motu Animalia,” or, in English: “On the Motion of Animals.” But most of what he put forward there turned out to be simply incorrect. I love Aristotle as much as the next guy, but it’s hard to say that he was the “father of zoology.”

He was certainly the father of logic.  For that, he will be regarded, until the end of organized human civilization, as the man. Imagine codifying a field of study in ancient Greece, and having seen no corrections and very few improvements 2300 years later.
