Reading De Humani Corporis Fabrica | Alexandria
Read De Humani Corporis Fabrica by Andreas Vesalius. Revolutionizing medicine, Vesalius's groundbreaking atlas shattered ancient myths by daring to dissect human bodies - proving Galen's animal-based anatomy wrong. His insistence that direct observation trumps revered texts sparked modern empiricism. Most surprisingly? His "errors" ignited the scientific method by showing how being wrong leads to truth.
