The early scientists were often the people whose time was dedicated to religion. As it was their job to question everything and look outside the mundane features of life, so it was often them who tried new things and made new discoveries. Science and religion commonly went hand-in-hand before richer societies could fund the research seperately and support more academics.
Primitive science is the background of early chemistry and alchemy.
There is no such thing as primitive science. The same laws of science apply today as they do for yesterday and tomorrow! The word science really means 'knowledge'.
