This two-part course traces the remarkable history of human understanding, from prehistoric toolmakers and the first writing systems to the Scientific Revolution and the technological world of today. Along the way, we will explore the contributions of Greek philosophers, Roman engineers, Islamic scholars, Renaissance thinkers, and pioneering astronomers such as Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton.
