Question: who was the first ever scientist and why did peapole think of sciantists

Oooh that’s a difficult question. There were probably scientists around in the ancient greek times but I’m not sure if they were written about anywhere. Anyone who can design an experiment, carry it out and then work out what the results mean is a scientist in my eyes. There are lots of famous scientists but the main one who is often thought to be the first scientist is the italian – Galileo.
