Anatomy is anything but dusty. From ancient dissections to today’s digital teaching: discover how anatomy has evolved and how you can make your classes modern and interactive with Corpus Edu.
As early as around 3,500 BC, the Sumerians and Babylonians possessed basic anatomical knowledge. Although some cultures developed remarkable skill in handling corpses, the progress of anatomy in antiquity was hindered by the fact that in many countries the bodies of the dead were considered inviolable.
The introduction of anatomy as a medical field of knowledge can largely be attributed to the Greek physician Galen of Pergamon (129–201). He developed a comprehensive theory of disease, which he recorded in his work Methodus medendi. However, Galen’s findings were based primarily on animal dissections, meaning they contained numerous errors with regard to human anatomy.
Andreas Vesalius is regarded as the founder of modern anatomy. In 1543, he published the seven-volume work De humani corporis fabrica.
Even though the structure of the human body has not fundamentally changed, anatomy is by no means a static science. Neuroanatomy in particular is characterized by rapid growth in knowledge, for example through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
