Throughout the Middle Ages, there was one predominant component of the European world view: stasis.
- All aspects of nature were considered as fixed and change was unconceivable.
- No new species had appeared, and none had disappeared or become extinct.
The social and political context of the Middle Ages helps explain this world view:
- shaped by feudal society - hierarchical arrangement supporting a rigid class system that had changed little for centuries
- shaped by a powerful religious system - life on Earth had been created by God exactly as it existed in the present (known as fixity of species).
