The subject is also concerned with the role of these glands and the nature and function of the various hormones which they secrete to regulate various processes in the human body. The majority of the research on the endocrine glands did not arise till modern times even though; some historical observations of this particular important system in the body may date back to very ancient times.

Aristotle, the great philosopher and originator of science in 3rd century B.C. (Greece) made an observation about the effect of castration on calves and bulls. This Greek philosopher studied the varying effects of the castration attempting to understand the effects. Such studies by this ancient scientist can be regarded as the first scientific examination of hormones and their role in the body.

Aristotle did not necessarily understand the processes, nor did the ancient civilizations of Egypt and China which also had philosophers examining and noticing the human behavioral changes which result following the removal of testes - the effects of castration at least was common knowledge in the ancient world.

Both of these ancient civilizations practiced castration in their society to produce a servile class of men known as eunuchs. The empirical knowledge about the glandular system did not came about, however till at least the 17th century, when modern scientific study can be said to have begun. During this age, scientists began to study the human body and had some empirical knowledge about hormonal roles and functions in the body.
