In many ways, the Scientific Revolution was the result of a shift in the way Sapiens viewed the world and its future. We’ve discovered the world of bacteria, can now cure most diseases caused by it, and even engineer bacteria for use in medicines.Īll of these advances were made possible by the Scientific Revolution.

For instance, since 1500, the world population has grown from 500 million Sapiens to 7 billion. In the last 500 years, we’ve seen unprecedented scientific and technological growth, so much so that a time traveler from 1500 would recognize very little of our world.
