Details of forecasting stages

Stage 1. Interrogating nature

Prehistoric to classical primary era

During prehistoric times, humans started hunting and looking around themselves. They thought about the requirement of the materials for the future and tried to fulfil these requirements.

Humans considered how the birds are flying. Early people followed the practices, for example, of divination of watching the travel of flying creatures to know what will happen. At an essential level, perhaps there were useful advantages of these efforts. For instance, they noticed that when seagulls quit flying and take asylum someplace, it can imply that a tempest is drawing nearer.

Humans watched the natural phenomena and looked at the behavior of birds and animals. They started to experiment to fly like birds. So, they made structures like wings, and tried to fly. In Roman times, people rehearsed in the craft of prognostication of the universe of winged animals. There were different less exquisite divination practices also, for example, haruspicy, which was the investigation of the insides of sacrificed creatures to get hints of what will come.
