Talk:History of chemistry

Should Tapputi be added
Tapputi has her own page that states she is the first recorded chemist but she is nowhere to be found in this article. Denisrodman88 (talk) 15:23, 3 March 2021 (UTC)


 * You're correct that Tapputi, an ancient Mesopotamian perfumer, is considered one of the earliest known individuals who worked with chemicals. Her methods and techniques date back to around the second millennium BCE. It is indeed important to acknowledge her contributions when discussing the history of chemistry. Including Tapputi and the ancient Egyptian perfume-making techniques in the discussion would provide a broader perspective on the early advancements in chemical practices. It's always valuable to highlight diverse contributions to the field of chemistry to ensure a comprehensive understanding of its historical development.

Is there a reason for the lack of 21st century accounts and a limited late 20th century?
Quite a bit has happened in the past 20-30 years and the article seems to not reflect that. Is there a particular reason for this (f.e. Wikipedia guidelines I have failed to find)?

If not, I would be interested in collaborating with some fellow chemists on expanding the later parts of the article. --Balonlon (talk) 13:03, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
