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.
