    Science and technology have existed since ancient times, with early humans using stone tools over 2 million years ago. During ancient Mesopotamian cultures around 400 BC, early scientific records emerged regarding disease symptoms, astronomy, and mathematics. In the middle period after the fall of Rome, scientific activities were focused on the Christian faith, with medicine and botany used to help the sick. The scientific revolution began in 16th-17th century Europe and spread knowledge of anatomy, the geocentric universe model, and the Gregorian calendar, emphasizing physical and biological sciences through the 18th-20th centuries. Modern advancements continue to enhance daily life through a cyberspace society.
