Answer:

“To each species of creature has been allotted a peculiar and instinctive gift. To horses galloping, to birds flying, comes naturally. To man only is given the desire to learn.” Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) was a physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution.Jan
