An area of study within metascience that examines the structures, origins, and historical development of science—including primitive sciences, protosciences, and the early forms of knowledge-seeking that preceded modern [scientific] institutions. Paleoscience asks what came before: how ancient peoples observed nature, how pre-modern cultures systematized knowledge, how protoscientific practices evolved into what we now recognize as science. It studies not just the history of scientific ideas but the history of scientific structures—[the institutions], practices, and social arrangements that made science possible. Paleoscience reveals that science has a deep past, that what we call science today emerged from earlier ways of knowing, and that [understanding] those origins illuminates the nature of science itself.
