History of Science
The full name of this group is History of Science and Ideas. However, most interest seems to be on the Science side of things and also the development of technology. Recently we have looked at the development of Steam power, the History of Theories of Disease, History of Astronomy up to Galileo, Medieval Science, Francis Bacon, Blank Slate Theory. Next year (2024) we plan to have talks on Phrenology, The Development of Classification of Elements, History of Beekeeping, The Development of Psychology and the History of Mathematics.
The group relies on members being willing to spend some time researching and then giving presentations on topics of their own choice. We meet once a month on the 3rd Friday morning at the Larruperz.
