Natural science, as the TOK definition, was the sciences that prove the basic rules and the laws of the nature. It’s based on the measurement and processions of the quantitative data in the real world. Humans invented some models of natural processes that research both human behaviour and social patterns as well. As two Interdependences subjects in AOK, the human science aim to interpret the experiences, activities, living, and artefacts which were associated with human beings. The data, for example, were the measurements of a particular item or process which based on the experiment mainly; and about theory, was the understanding which about the existing empirical knowledge, experience, facts, rules, and cognitive hypothesis proven with the logical & a reasonable deduction in the human science and nature science. The wrong thing was that sometimes both of these two sciences use priori way to theorize one formal system before they received precise data as opposed to carry out empirical methodology with facts.

So, as the knowledge claim, why did the wrong experiment results become theorized and proved to be true? A good example of that was the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin, many evidences had pointed to his theory shown that the theory might mislead the study of biology for nearly 200 years.
The data were Inseparable with the theory in reality, and the facts of biology may not have such an easy origin of the theory of evolution. Darwin had “predict” that the new species will come out by natural selection that can spend more than a thousand years to complete, but more data had been shown in the 21 centuries’ natural science: from the research of J. Todd Streelman that posted on national magazine- Molecular Ecology, the Cyn...
