If I am not mistaken, the East celebrates nature as the source of knowledge (i.e "superstitions", herbal medicine, etc). Now, modern science have we call "Biomimicry" a science were we try to imitate the natural system/design in solving man's day to day problem. Below is the example of the application of Biomimicry.

Here's my 2 cents :) I hope to discuss Philosophy with you sir.
