Best Answer

Science (the investigation of how the physical world functions) began with the earliest civilizations, many of whom initially ascribed much of natural phenomena to gods. Science may have started when people began asking such questions as why is the sky blue during the day and where does life come from.

Another answer:

Science wasn't discovered. It is a way of thinking and of looking at the world. It gradually evolved as people discovered what worked and what didn't. People have always asked themselves questions about the world around them and tried to give answers. Science relies on the fact that we test our ideas by experiment, and are prepared to discard those which do not fit the experimental results. Elements of the scientific method emerged in ancient times, but its full evolution followed the Renaissance.

It was invented in India. Even though many people claim that renaissance started science, the Indian physicists had done research about atoms as early as 3 BC. Since lot of algebraic stuff was also postulated by Indo-Arabic civilizations they were considered to discover physics/ chemistry. There wasn't much progress in Biology but many Indians in BC knew what organs controlled basic functions as mind controlled behaviour. The Europeans as far as up to 1400 believed the heart controlled behaviour. The Indians were developed in astronomy other than any above fields as many of them in 120 BC had theorized about the 'sun at the centre and not earth' theory. It was in the 1500 that Copernicus went against the church and theorized that the earth was at the centre. The Europeans were self centred and thought earth was at the centre. Other civilizations that realized the importance of the sun, placed it at the centre such as the Hindus, Aztecs, Mayans, Buddhists etc. Did that answer it? I am Matthew Talbot

Geology was first studied by Ancient Greek philosophers. The scholar Theophrastus wrote a definitive book called Peri Lithon meaning On Stones. It was considered the dominant book about fossils for an entire millennium. In response to your question, the study of geology as a science first began in the fourth century B.C.

It wasn't discovered.

Mankind from pre-classical times has always tried to make sense of the environment around him, through astronomy, the natural seasons. and mathemtics.
