Okay, I'll get more specific. Psychology as a science (and not philosophy) was basically developed in the Middle East around 930 AD with Al-Fārābī when he formulated axioms about the causes of social and political behavior of individuals. He also separated out innate behavior from learned behavior. While his methodology was crude even compared to Freud, what he developed over 1000 years ago was much more science than it was philosophical guesswork.
