This is a really interesting question! To answer that we would have to look at the definition of the word ‘scientist’ – it means a person who is studying or has expert knowledge in one or more fields of science. Based on this I would say scientists have been around as long as humans have had the urge to discover new things, have been studying their surroundings systematically and sharing their findings with their fellow humans. Science as it is today (so the way modern scientist think about experimenting and proving and disproving things) started to emerge in the ancient Greek culture and in Persia.

Adam was very reluctant to follow her lead
