One change was the creation of the university system that allowed hastened development of intellectualism as they were allowed to operate individual from the government to an extent. As science grew a change was made in how we approach it, and modern science was born through the creation of the scientific method by Francis Bacon. This advance into modern science allowed for other major advances in how Europeans thought, such as how Galileo disproved geocentrism and replaced it with heliocentrism, and how Vesalius accurately diagrammed the inner workings of the human body. Another change was that Europe became much more secular as the knowledge of nature and the world grew outside of a religious frame.

Another continuity was that some false scientific studies were done to “prove” that women were worse than men, continuing the tradition of the patriarchy from before the
