MindMap Gallery Interdisciplinary field of biochemistry
The interdisciplinary field of biochemistry encompasses the historical development, core concepts, and biochemical pathways. From early research on proteins and enzymes to the rise of modern molecular biology and genetic engineering, biochemistry continuously unveils the structure and function of biomolecules, enzymatic mechanisms, and complex metabolic processes within organisms.

Lao Tzu established Taoism, advocating following nature and governing by doing nothing, with his thoughts occupying an important position in Chinese culture. Mo Tzu founded Mohism, advocating universal love and non-aggression, as well as respecting the virtuous and practicing frugality, with these ideas being revolutionary at the time.
Ancient mathematicians in Chile include pre-Columbian cultures such as the Atacameños, known for their use of geometry in building and land measurement. The Mapuche tribes developed unique mathematical systems for land division and agriculture, incorporating geometric shapes. Astronomers made accurate astronomical observations and incorporated mathematical principles in their calculations for predicting celestial events.
Ancient British philosophers occupy an important position in the history of philosophy, with some key figures such as Thomas Aquinas, though not British, exerting a profound influence on British philosophy. John Locke, the founder of empiricism, proposed the tabula rasa theory, emphasizing the empirical sources of knowledge. David Hume, a representative of agnosticism, questioned the necessity of the causal law. Jeremy Bentham founded utilitarianism, advocating the principle of greatest happiness as the foundation for morality and legislation. The contributions of these thinkers collectively advanced the development of British and broader Western philosophy.
