Our understanding of the animal world has been changing all throughout the years, many cultures, civilizations, and people have viewed animals in different and unique ways. As we keep studying and understanding the various and diverse species of animals that share the planet with us, we come to understand them and the environment around us even more and we get deeper knowledge on the matter. There is so much to learn and discover in our world and there are many people willing to work hard and make these discoveries happen and share their findings with the world, so we may all connect more and understand this beautiful planet we share with so many wonderful creatures, so we may help them and conserve their environments, their homes. This is what Charles Henry Turner was aiming for in his career as a scientist, as a zoologist more specifically an Entomologist. Charles Henry Turner was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on February 3, 1867. At a young age Turner was encouraged to prioritize learning and education, he excelled at his studies and graduated from Gaines High School in 1886 as class valedictorian. Turner Graduated in 1907 from the University of Chicago with a PHD in zoology, he then went on to be the first person to discover that insects can hear and alter their behaviors based on previous experiences. He made and wrote 70 research papers, but his most famous research is how insects can hear and alter their behaviors based on their previous experiences. His research changed the way the world saw insects, he saw the world not just through the eyes of insects, but he also heard from their antennal and tympanal ears. Thanks to this we have a much deeper understanding of insects and their behaviors. Charles Henry Turner passed away on February 14, 1923, at the age of 56, even after his passing his work remains and his research has opened many doors in understanding the world in which we live.
