Lessons from history: Human anatomy, from the origin to the renaissance

Abstract

The well-known fact that history writers always seem wiser than the subjects on whom they write is the most logical inherent proof that history is rich in lessons. The history of Anatomy is not an exception. It is full of imperative lessons in the Art and Science of the discipline of Anatomy, which following generations ought to learn. We present a defined brief survey with this in mind. © 2006 Sociedad Chilena de Anatom.
