History of Science.

·       History of Science AN OVERVIEW.

·       The history of science is the study of the historical development of science and scientific knowledge, including both the natural sciences and social sciences. Science is not merely a collection of facts, concepts and useful ideas bout nature or even the systematic investigation of nature but it is used to fulfill the domestic as well as personal needs of human beings .

·       The historical epochs by the corresponding principal means of production are Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age.

·       Since the perception of human needs varies in different societies, science will grow differently in different social conditions.

·       For instance, the village communities of the past were elf-contained, life was leisurely, regulated by the sunrise, sunset and the seasons.

·       The need for railways, automobiles, telephones, etc. did not arise.

·       Conversely, the application of science changes society. We also find that sometimes in history, conditions have been favourable for the growth of science and its application in a particular society.
