چکیده    This work provides historical context about scorpion studies from the end of the 19thcentury to the present day. the content is mainly addressed to non-zoologists,working in research fields that embrace scorpion biology,notably to those working with venoms and toxins. the historical aspects described include academic professional scholars who worked on scorpion classification and general distribution patterns; and to a lesser extent,on studies of ecology and natural history. the aim is not to provide an exhaustive description of all scholars who in one way or another became involved with scorpions,but rather of those who greatly contributed during a given period to the research of these organisms. no critical analysis of the work of previous researchers is undertaken,but some comments are proposed to bring clarification on 'who's who'. since a global consensus in relation to classification and/or distribution patterns has not been reached among modern experts,these different approaches are also presented without judgment. consequently,distinct approaches remain open for discussion. © 2014 lourenço.
