    • This shift was made possible by the availability of data from astronomical observations and mathematical calculations.

    Darwinian Revolution

    • Rejected the theory of Lamarckism, which claimed that acquired characteristics are inheritable.
    • Darwin observed the diversity of organisms, fossils, and adaptation during his voyage on the Beagle in 1831.
    • He compared organisms from Galapagos Islands, South American organisms, and found variations among organisms in the Galapagos Islands to form the foundation for his theory of evolution by natural selection.
    • His observations of Galapagos Finches revealed differences in beak sizes based on the types of food available on their respective islands.

    Freudian Revolution

    • Introduced the concept of unconscious forces driving human behavior.
    • This understanding of the mind has influenced various fields including psychology, literature, and art.
    • Sparked debates on sexuality, childhood, and therapy.
