  The publication of Principia Mathematica in 1678 by Newton became known the
celestial bodies motion laws, which characterize the Classical Mechanics.
Thereafter made sense to search about the movement of these bodies from known
initial conditions, particularly in the 3 body problem. In this paper it is
exposed the influence of Poincar\'e work, in 1880, in this problem on the
beginning of Deterministic Chaos Theory based on the development of several new
qualitative tools. The application of such tools led him to the discovery of a
special kind of behavior: the dynamical instability. Contrary to the common
idea that this kind of behavior was first evidenced by Lorenz in 1963, the
Poincar\'e theoretical research was sufficiently clear about the existence of
chaotic deterministic behavior. Until the time of Poincar\'e, there was a tacit
assumption that the uncertainty in the output does not arise from any
randomness in the dynamical laws, since they are completely deterministic, but
rather from the lack of the infinite accuracy in the initial conditions. In
this paper it is emphasized that the issues of determinism and predictability
are distinct.
