The impact of Empiricism on society is the incidental beginnings of the science of psychology. It also contributed to the learning of the human mind. Empiricism helped in the continued study of human thought, understanding and perception of ideas, and the development of knowledge.

<span>Empiricism's impact on society was that scientific knowledge (learned from observation and experience) came to be seen as more reliable and true than any other type of knowledge -- including religious knowledge. </span>

<span>
Men like Francis Bacon and other figures of the Scientific Revolution (such as Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton) were all quite religious men. Bacon wrote a treatise against atheism. In his book on<em> Optics</em>, Isaac Newton argued that the way light and vision work demonstrates the wisdom of a divine Creator. But over time, empirical science came to challenge and conflict with religious authority more and more. Galileo's treatment by the Roman Inquisition is an example of that. Enlightenment era thinkers came to trust science-based knowledge ahead of anything church authorities might say. </span>

<span>An example of how this impacted society can be seen in the strange case of Mary Toft, a woman in England who, in 1726, claimed to be giving birth to rabbits. In an earlier century, priests would likely have been sent to investigate the case. In 1726, medical experts from the Royal Society of London were called in to investigate and discover that she was faking these "births."</span>

The people of the stone age lived a different life than we do now. They used primitive tools that were made from rocks and sticks. They lived in caves and ate what they hunted.

Further Explanation:

The people of the stone age lived approximately 2.6 millions years ago. They lived during a time that there was no technology or homes like we have now. The stone age men and women lived with the Neanderthals and Denisovan peoples.

Over the years, researchers have learned a great deal about the people from the stone age. They lived in small groups and were nomads. They also lived during an ice age.

During their time on Earth, they lived with many now-extinct animals such as they Sabertooth, Woolly Mammoth, and giant sloths. They killed these animals for food and used stones to crush their prey. They also ate many plants and nuts that they found.

One of the tools found that they used was a hammerstone. This was used to chip  away at the big stones to make smaller ones and to also break apart nuts that they foraged.
