No doubt, many folk throughout history were well aware of the force of gravity.

But Isaac newton had been discussing the motion of a comet, and this led him to consider the motion of planets, and one day, he observed an apple to fall, and it was this latter that focused his attention. He repeated this tale several times in his life.

The apple did not fall on his head!

But as above, this led him to consider the broader problem, and to explain it.
