Did you know that the study of anatomy and physiology as we know it today began in ancient Greece? Herophilus is considered the father of human anatomy and the pioneer of dissecting, even though there was ultimately a huge gap in time between his work and those of his successors and modern dissection. Meanwhile, Hippocrates recognized how symptoms in one part of human anatomy, like clubbing of fingers, could be related to diseases in other parts of the body. If you’ve ever heard of the Hippocratic oath, that’s a reference to Hippocrates as the father of medicine! Of course, midwives, herbalists, and so on have been working with medicine and anatomy since the dawn of civilization; it’s just that these two figures approached the field from a more scientific perspective. What would you say it means to take a scientific approach to medicine? What makes the work of these two scholars, and later scientists, especially important in the study of anatomy and physiology?
