    4000 years ago we saw the very first civilizations develop a system of writing, complex mathematics and invent the wheel. Today we have already sent exploration rovers to mars, and are looking to send people there within the next 10 years. With the first homo sapiens appearing 200000 years ago, it is quite amazing that most advancement in technology and science has happened in the past few thousand years. However the progression in science has not always increased at a steady rate. For example during classical antiquity, especially in Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, scientists studied natural philosophy, the study of nature; which helped to progress our understanding of the world greatly.
