slave trade
around 1500 and 1800, around 12-15 million people were taken by force from Africa to be used as enslaved labour in the Caribbean, North, Central and South America.
It is estimated that over 2 million Africans died on the journey to the Americas, in a journey known as the Middle Passage.
As a result of the transatlantic slave trade, millions of people of African descent live across the world. This is known as the African Diaspora.

Locke argued that human nature was mutable and that knowledge was gained through accumulated experience rather than by accessing some sort of outside truth
Newton’s calculus and optical theories provided the powerful Enlightenment metaphors for precisely measured change and illumination.
