2. INTRODUCTION
A scientific breakthrough is an euphoric moment that
reveals an idea or even an accidental answer to a need or
problem.
Many scientific breakthroughs were developed into
technologies that helped improve the quality of life by giving
us cures for diseases, increasing food production, improving
procedure for solving crimes, and developing machines that
do work more efficiently.
Some scientific breakthroughs were discovered
accidentally and led to other breakthroughs, while others
were made through the perseverance of the scientists.
Gadgets are examples of these breakthroughs.

13. Acient Technology
• The earliest known human artifacts are
roughly flaked stones used for chopping
and scraping, found primarily in eastern
Africa. Known as Oldowan tools, they date
from about 2.3 million years before
present, and serve to define the beginning
of the Stone Age.

Early Agricultural Tools
Humans began farming
about 12,000 years
ago. The ability to
control their food supply
freed people from a
nomadic lifestyle, which
allowed for the
beginning of cities and
towns. These early
farming tools date from
about 6,000 BC.

Early Hunting and Gathering Tools
An assortment of prehistoric tools provides evidence of the hunting and gathering methods of early peoples. Slabs of bark were often used to gather nuts and berries and functioned as crude dishes or bowls (top left). Reproductions of fishing tackle and arrows believed to have been used around 8000 bc are displayed on the lower left. Recovered tools for digging and cutting (right) are shown with recreated wooden handles. The heads of the adzes are made from flint, as is the fire-starter shown below them.
In 1928, Alexander Fleming left petri dishes containing cultured staphylococci bacteria before going on a week-long vacation. Upon returning to his laboratory, he sorted through the stack of discarded petri dished and was surprised to observe that a mold had entered and contaminated his culture. However, this mold, was inhibiting the growth of harmful Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Something produced by the mold was dissolving the bacteria, practically wiping off the dish clean even without the aid of a disinfectant. That something was actually a powerful antibiotic, which he named penicillin. Best of all penicillin was not poisonous to humans. The medical community did not did not accept Fleming’s new discovery. Scientist during that time believed that once a bacterium entered the body, there was nothing that could be done. Penicillin was seen insignificant and of no science interest. Fleming was seen insignificant and of no scientific interest. Fleming was not a chemist and so he could not isolate the active ingredient; neither could he keep the penicillin long enough for human use.
During the World War II, two medical researchers Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, provided medical assistance in the battlefield with the development of a powdered form of penicillin. In 1941, the first human was successfully treated. Before long penicillin was in full production. Fleming, Florey, and Chain were awarded the Noble Prize for medicine in 1895, 17 years after penicillin was discovered. This breakthrough helped cure diseases such as gonorrhea, meningitis, diphtheria, and pneumonia.

Fertilizing the ovum outside the mother’s womb gave new hope to many couples who could not have a child under natural means. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the breakthroughs that have become part of what is throughs that have become a part of what is known as assisted reproductive therapy (ART), which treats barrenness or the inability of a woman to become pregnant.
The first test tube baby was born to Lesley Brown, who was told by her doctor s that she would never be able to give birth. However, other doctors obtain her egg and fertilized it outside her womb, and give the world its first test-tube baby: LOUISE JOY BROWN, born July 25, 1978.
The successful birth was carried out by the gynecologist Patrick Steptoe and two other doctors Robert Edwards and Barry Bavister.
In vitro fertilization involves taking an ovum (egg) from the mother’s ovary, fertilizing it in a test tube with the father’s sperm, and returning the fertilized ovum into another woman’s womb for the egg to developed. Many ethical and moral issues have cropped up regarding test-tube babies, especially when the egg is made to grow in another woman’s womb, who is not the biological mother of the baby. Another and even more serious issue is the fate of other embryos that produced but not implanted into the womb. What happen to this human embryos? On the other had, whatall such embyos are implanted and all grow into full-term babies?
