The ancient Greek and Roman societies are known for their milestones
in science and philosophy. There was not as much scientific development
in Europe during the Middle Ages as in places such as India and China.
The Scientific Revolution (1450s–1700s) gave rise to a renewal of
interest in art and science. Leonardo da Vinci made close studies of animal
and human anatomy and used this knowledge in his art. He introduced
methods of observation and documentation that are still used today.
Scientific understanding is always limited by available technology.
Advances in biology and other areas of science are made possible by the
use of new technologies. For example, the invention of the microscope
allowed for the discovery and study of cells and microorganisms.
