Science, including Earth science, is at present only weakly and indirectly connected to Gutenberg. Other personal studies including the human body and psychology may be a bit better connected. Other biographies may also be useful. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, and human ecology,is also connected. Human geography will be useful. Gutenberg lived in Europe. I do not yet have connections to particular groups. |

CultureHe is known for innovations in material culture. Industrial technolgy, building technology, clothing, foodstuffs, and transportation technolgy are all les significant than his association with communication technogy as the orignator of modern pringing. Other artifacts are less gifnificant. He had a significant indirect influence on conceptual culture. Language, graphic arts, literature, mathematics, applied science, and philosophy can be connected. Connections with behavioral culture including customs, occupations, recreation and entertainment, and cultural events are not yet clear. InstitutionsI have no information on connections with family, including marriage, parenting, kinship, or particular families. I have no information on his connections with education including research, teaching, cultural institutions, educational activities, or particular schools. There is considerable connection to economics including economic activites, industries, and economic systems, as he can e considered the founder of printing and publishing industry. I have little information on his connections to government including law, governent structure, goverment activities, or particular governments. He was connected to religion and exerted an indirect influence on its belief, practice, organization, as well as particular traditions. Sociology, including connections to social structure and change, particular communities and peoples is also important. I do not yet have connections to particular nations. Gutenberg belongs to Western civilization, in particular to Germanic peoples. Gutenberg lived in late medieval times, particularly in the 14th and 15th centuries CE. |
