Answer:

During the Hellenistic period the sciences as a whole were separated from philosophy, which allowed a great advance in different fields of study. We can name the following events that occurred within this period:

  •  Eratosthenes de Cirene, librarian of Alexandria created the mathematical geography and was able to measure the length of the Earth's meridian.
  • Hipparchus of Nicea spent much of his time observing the sky from his Rhodes observatory, where he was able to draw up a large map of the sky with more than 800 stars cataloged and studied by him.
  • Regarding the health of people, the image of the magician disappears and the image of the Doctor is born. The health of the people is entrusted to the doctors and they enjoy a great reputation.

Columbian exchange. Impact of different parts of the world.

As Europeans expanded their market reach into the colonial sphere, they devised a new economic policy to ensure the colonies’ profitability. The philosophy of mercantilism shaped European perceptions of wealth from the 1500s to the late 1700s. Mercantilism held that only a limited amount of wealth, as measured in gold and silver bullion, existed in the world. In order to gain power, nations had to amass wealth by mining these precious raw materials from their colonial possessions. Mercantilists did not believe in free trade, arguing instead that the nation should control trade to create wealth and to enhance state power. In this view, colonies existed to strengthen the colonizing nation.

Colonial mercantilism, a set of protectionist policies designed to benefit the colonizing nation, relied on several factors:

Colonies rich in raw materials

Cheap labor

Colonial loyalty to the home government

Control of the shipping trade

Under this system, the colonies sent their raw materials—harvested by enslaved people or native workers—to Europe. European industry then produced and sent finished materials—like textiles, tools, manufactured goods, and clothing—back to the colonies. Colonists were forbidden from trading with other countries.

Commodification quickly affected production in the New World. American silver, tobacco, and other items—which were used by native peoples for ritual purposes—became European commodities with monetary value. Before the arrival of the Spanish, for example, the Inca people of the Andes consumed chicha, a corn beer, for ritual purposes only. When the Spanish discovered chicha, they bought and traded for it, detracting from its spiritual significance for market gain. This process disrupted native economies and spurred early commercial capitalism.
