The Sciences, like most things, have evolved over time.  Men and women with the desire to know, and who had the inclination to challenge myths and practices passed down from previous generations, are the forefathers (or mothers) of science as we know it today.  In upcoming editions, I will share some early theories.  Read them carefully.  Many of them will amuse you, but all of them will show just how far we’ve come in Science.
 
 

Horner’s Law (Biology/Psychology): A Genetic Principle  Discovered by the Swiss ophthalmologist Johann Friedrich Horner (1831-86).    Horner’s Law states that the most common form of colour blindness (red-green) is  transmitted from male to male through unaffected females.  (Do you think this was a principle to encourage monogamy?)
