Eleven. Why people pursued knowledge
Early people tried to understand:

The causes of illness and disease
This led to the development of different fields:
Arts and Philosophy - Meaning, knowledge, beauty, and human existence.
Psychology - Human behavior and mental processes.
Sociology - Human behavior in society
Biology - Living organisms
Chemistry - Matter and its transformations.
Medicine - Prevention and treatment of disease.
Mathematics - Numbers, measurement, patterns, and problem-solving
Astronomy - Objects and events in space
Philosophy, psychology, and sociology study humanity and behavior, while biology, chemistry, and medicine focus more on life and the physical world.
