"As a matter of historical fact, the history of science is, by and large, a history of progress" .
(Karl Popper, 1902-1994)

In this quote, Popper is expressing the fact that the history of science is the history of human progresss. As science is something that helps humankind to advance and survive; we can see in different ages, as science progresses, our life changes as well.

For example, humankind had only discovered copper, gold and silver, as they were the only metals that exsisted as an element. Not until science advanced, we discovered fire making us able to burn and extract metals from its ore. These metals helped us to forge weapons, make items to hunt inorder to survive. This progress did not stop, when the compound Silicon dioxide which is glass was discovered, it provided us with intruments like test tubes and etc for use to do different experiments exploring other different elements and theories about matter.

As science may well be the biggest achievement of humankind, science enchances our progress, which its history would show the very reasons of our progress and events happened. Like the haber process was invented for military use, however is now used for fertilliser which we have benefitted socially and economically.
