A radical retelling of the history of science that challenges the Eurocentric narrative.We are told that modern science was invented in Europe, the product of great minds like Nicolaus Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein. The history of science is not, and has never been, a uniquely European endeavour.Copernicus relied on mathematical techniques borrowed from Arabic and Persian texts. But this is wrong.
When Darwin was writing On the Origin of Species When Newton set out the laws of motion, he relied on astronomical observations made in India and Africa.
