The geocentric theory is the theory which led people to believe that the earth was the centre of the universe and that the sun, planets and the starts all revolved around it. This was based on the anthropocentric idea according to which human beings are special creatures and that the universe exists purely for their benefit.

The daily journey made by the sun, moon and planets and stars, through the sky suggested to early humans that all these bodies were orbiting the earth. There was no individual who came up with the theory.
