When did science begin?

Question

It's not about corn...

Answer 1

There are really 3 answers to this one:

1. When did people begin to apply their early observations of nature to trial and error attempt to alter it?

That is unknown, it is before recorded history, but corn did not happen spontaneously.  Best guess is about 6000 years ago:

Answer 4

We have always had science. From the point in time that the first ancestors to humans tried to understand and manipulate their environment, from H. sapiens first trying to understand the world they lived in. Did mineralogy come from studies of rocks and find certain types (flint, obsidian) to be advantageous and others useless. Passed on to the next generation. Obviously botany would have begun by cataloging what plants are good during what seasons and what would kill you or heal you. Chemistry and medicine; mix a berry with a yellow mineral and add urine to make a poultice. The discovery and use of fire, the stars and seasons, the clouds and rain and weather; it all goes back to the very first humans and even earlier to pre-humans I'm sure.

     Science has always been because of the nature of our minds. We are learners.
