In other words, no way did 'gravity' exist before Newton, and also no way did 'evolution' exist before Darwin.  What do you suppose 'conceptually constructed' means?

Before the time of Newton an apple falling was understood as an event in the seasonal life cycle of an apple tree, the apple falling was part of a process rather than the results of 'gravity.'  Before becoming an isolated, independent force, falling was part of a natural process.  Gravity was an objectification of science (an intellectual static pattern of value).  Imagine that!
