The beginning of 3rd century BC.
In Alexandria, Egypt, there are 2 surgeons named Herophilus and Erasistratus. Herophilus is also known as the Father of Anatomy. They together did the human cadaveric dissections for 30-40 years. After that, human dissection was prohibited for the next 1800 years.

∙ 7y agoNo one person 'invented' anatomy. People have been interested in what and how the body worked for a very long time but a Belgian physician, Andreas Vesalius, was the first to dissect human bodies to study anatomy.
Before then Galen was the 'expert'. Vesalius showed that Galen's work was done on animal studies and not humans since human dissection was banned.
Galen said that there were some sort of holes had to connect the chambers of the heart. For 1400 years people believed this but none had ever been found.
Galen said that the lower jaw was made of two bones not one as Andreas Vesalius showed.
He was 28 when his famous book, based on actual human autopsies, was published in 1538.
He was never excommunicated as was sometimes said.
