What was Buchanan-Hamilton's approach to studying nature?
My approach was fundamentally empirical. I believed in direct observation and meticulous recording of facts. Whether examining a plant, an animal, or a custom, I sought to gather precise data through careful measurement and detailed description. My method was to systematically collect information, allowing patterns and classifications to emerge from the evidence itself. This inductive approach, building from specific observations to broader understanding, was central to my scientific endeavors.
