In the 18th century, the science of man opened up the conceptual
framework for re-interpreting the origins and development of the
human species itself. It was the ever more popular reports of
'savages' which had led to a questioning of the biblical account of
Creation. Borrowing from scientific methods, the Scottish
Enlightenment developed a model of hypothesis-led empirical
research into humankind. German popular philosophy in particular
carried this conception forward in a variety of ways, but their
ability to establish connections and their creativity fell into
oblivion as a result of the specialisation and disciplining of the
field at the beginning of the 19th century.
