Science has limited direct application to the life of Newton, although he made substantial contributions in physics. He is not much recognized for work in chemistry, but he did contribute to astronomy and somewhat to earth science. He is not principally recognized for work in biology. Studies of the human body and psychology will be more useful. Biographies of other individuals are also useful. Anthropology including social foundations is useful, demography is less so. Physical anthropology and human ecology do not seem directly applicable. human geography is somewhat applicable. Newton lived in Europe. Particular groups have some connection: Newton was an important member of the Royal Society. |
