The explanation waited for Sir Isaac Newton, who showed that gravity is why the planets move the way they do. What are some examples from biology or chemistry of the how of a phenomenon being understood before the why? Please help!!!
 
Mendelian genetics (1860's) was well understood long before the discovery of DNA's role in heredity in the early 1950's
 
A dog will walk in a little circle before sitting/laying down on a carpet or rug. Wild dogs will do this to mat down the tall grass before laying down.
