Sir Isaac Newton
That is Isaac Newton or a younger Jim, I think it is the hair.
The developer of the hypothetical-deductive model who used tied rationality thinking with hypothesis = laws of gravity . I do see a resemblance, perhaps an ancestor?
I believe he also invented Calculus which ended up helping to launch the Scientific Revolution of the mid-to-late 17th century.
Did you guys know that Newton was born prematurely, was agelastic (did not laugh), and was more interested in theology than science? Not that this is central to anthropological theory and his contributions, but its interesting. Aside from inventing Calculus and the laws of gravity, motion, and cooling, he was also influential in the colour theory in optics and invented the telescope.
