1. The Scientific Revolution Events and people

2. What people thought 15001750 Everything is God’s will. The Earth is the centre of the Universe. Medicine is controlled by the 4 humours – blood, yellow bile, black bile and phlegm. Luckily by 1750 we have worked out that most of that is tosh. Science is key. The Sun is the centre of the Universe and the best way of finding out about medicine is by dissection. What you have to work out though is when we came about these ideas and also who thought of them.
