As far as historians can ascertain, Paleolithic people saw no distinction between medicine, magic, and religion. Archeologists have uncovered skulls with holes drilled in them dating back as far as 8,000 B.C. Researchers have determined that, for some, bone healed near these holes indicating that the procedure may have been surgical and that the person survived.

For instance, the plat tectonic theory which explains landmass motion to form continents; the newton’s theory of gravity; the cell theory of organisms etc.

GROUP THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS

The concept of symmetry and group theory are important in chemistry to
study the structure of molecules. The measurement of crystal structures, infra–
red spectra, ultra–violet spectra, dipole moments and optical activities, all these
are properties which depend on molecular symmetry. The term symmetry is
synonymous to beauty. The nature has made most of its creation symmetrical i.e., the sun planets animals and plants. symmetry is present in geometrical figures, crystalline solids and molecule. Entities which possess more element of symmetry
are more symmetrical
