[A historical perspective of human-animal interaction as a field of study].

Chronologically review of the most important people, publications, academic meetings, and academic societies has contributed to the development and understanding of human-animal interactions as research areas. Lorenz is recognized as the founder of this new research field. His contribution is to emphasize the role of human beings who must comprehensively understand the behavior of animals, and also points out the fact that modern people need to interact with nature. Another pioneer at Levinson pointed out the therapeutic advantages of companion animals and the use of animals in Corson's hospital. A rapid increase in knowledge in this particular field occurred in the 1980s. The first world conference was held in London in 1980. The association related to this new research field was founded in the UK, Europe, the United States, Australia, Canada, South Africa. In South Africa, interest in this field appeared in the 1980's and was published in veterinary journals. It has evolved into an interdisciplinary approach. In addition, a new chairperson was held to make human-animal interaction a part of the veterinary curriculum. There is no doubt that a new field of research is important for veterinary experts.

Anthropology (also known as "human-animal research") is a study of interactions between organisms. This is an interdisciplinary field overlapping with many other fields, including anthropology, behavioral science, medicine, psychology, veterinary medicine and zoology. The main focus of anthropological research is to quantify the positive influence that human-animal relationships have on either side and their interactions. It includes scholars from a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, biology and philosophy.
