Why didn't galen dissect human bodies?
Galen's careful dissection on pigs, dogs and apes meant he discovered lots of new information about anatomy. He dissected some humans but usually had to make do with animals because the Roman traditions and religion were against human dissection. As a result, he had to base his theories about humans on his animal experiments which meant he made mistakes. Some of Galens wrong theories were: 1. The human jaw is made up of two separate bones (it is actually made of one bone). 2. The heart is divided into two parts, each carrying two separate lots around the body. 3. The liver makes up new blood from food.

These animals are apparently very clever and a hungry pig is a formidable animal.
