Document Summary
Is a big deal in the 18 hundreds and late 17 hundred (steam engines) ! The rise of science as a force of good is something thats pretty revolutionary! A dramatic change between late 17 hundreds and late 18 hundreds. Biology > life: big questions about life arose. between ! Goes beyond the realm of biology: culture/ social structure: people start to borrow ideas from one realm to another realm! Ideas that structure people into thinking in wrong ways. Darwin didn"t say nearly as much as other people said. people used his words in ways that. People applied what he had said to social situations and such! Spirit of thinking: trying to apply evolutionary theory to everything: ex. language: because they are simple they must be primitive in everything, limited vocabulary !
