Wikipedia
In medicine and biology, scatology or coprology is the study of feces.
Scatological studies allow one to determine a wide range of biological information about a creature, including its diet (and thus where it has been), health and diseases such as tapeworms. The word derives from the Greek meaning "dung, feces"; coprology derives from the Greek of similar meaning.
A comprehensive study of scatology was documented by John Gregory Bourke under the title Rites of All Nations (1891). An abbreviated version of the work (with a foreword by Sigmund Freud), was published as The Portable Scatalog in 1994.
