10. Getting It Wrong

Aristotle was a great thinker and helped to form the basis of how we learn today. However, he lived a long time ago when mankind’s knowledge of our planet and the universe around us was far more limited than it is today. This meant that even a great name like Aristotle got some things wrong.

According to Aristotle, the heart was the center of intelligence, not the brain. He also thought that the gender of goats depends on the direction of wind flow. He also believed Earth was at the center of the universe, and that eels didn’t breed, but spontaneously generated from mud.
