Heraphadous (Herophilos) of CalcedonFather of anatomy .
Ancient greece, bc third century (3rd)
This ancient Greek has always intrigued me. He quite literally became so curious about the human body. So interested in what every human being was about. Yet even though he meticulously researched the body, he didn't ever show interest in more.
Regardless, I don't know if he ever wrote a book about the human condition.
I think that it is interesting that a man who publicly dissected human bodies. He never thought that he could learn so much more from one simple thing. Simply asking questions is a start.
I guess at the end of the day, his exploration and research laid the roots of modern medicine. Even though he was obviously simply putting on a public show. In order to make a bit more coin.
