Why is that? What changed?
Why would you discount the efforts of all the people before that who did successful and important science?
I had mentioned 1700 and onwards, however it is possible to push it further back to the 1600, but it looks like previous to that, science was in a sleepy state, that there wasn’t a scientific community, and the names of people we know that experimented, that tried to gather and organize data gets slim.
It looks like it is mostly in the 1700s and onwards that things started to pick up.
“When Aristotle went to do research at the Kolpos Kalloni on Lesbos?”

“Aristotle describes more than 500 animals, telling us something of their origins, behavior, anatomy and purpose. He urged humans to love animals because they are beautiful and teach us truth. He taught that Nature does nothing in vain. Every living thing in the natural world has a purpose.”
What was the next step?
What work did he do with that? Who else worked with him? Who used his book about these 500 animals?
