Claudius Ptolemy discovered that

the Earth was the center of the

Nicolaus Copernicus superseded

the idea of Ptolemy about the

Model.

traits. His theory of evolution has two
main points, First is all life on earth is
connected and related to each other,
Second, the diversity of life came

Sigmund Freud and his View of the

Human Mind “The Mental Iceberg”

Sigmund Freud developed his view of

the human mind and called it “The
Mental Iceberg”. He believed that
behavior and personality were derived
from the constant and unique
interaction of conflicting psychological
forces that operate at three different
levels of awareness: the
preconscious, conscious,
and unconscious. He believed that
each of these parts of the mind plays
an important role in influencing
behavior.
