Title ANATOMY 101: IS AN ANCIENT CHINESE SCRIPT THE OLDEST ANATOMY “TEXTBOOK” IN EXISTENCE? Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet SyFy Wire Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 10/09/20 Description Hippocrates and Galen might come to mind when you think of classical anatomy, but someone might have figured the human body out before he ever did. Someone on the other side of the planet.
Anatomists who lived during China’s Han Dynasty, a period when learning flourished, are thought to have first mapped the structure of the body (as opposed to function). Ancient scientists dissected bodies for thousands of years—the drawback is that too little evidence of it has surfaced, which explains why European texts have been the go-to for centuries. Medical scientist Vivien Shaw and her research team have now unearthed Chinese Mawangdui medical texts from some 2,200 years ago. That means the ghost of Hippocrates probably needs to take several seats.Producer/Author Elizabeth Rayne URL https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/ancient-chinese-script-is-oldest-anatomy-text Persons Vivien Shaw, Isabelle Winder Title This ancient Chinese anatomical atlas changes what we know about acupuncture and medical history Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet The Conversation UK Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 2/09/20 URL https://theconversation.com/this-ancient-chinese-anatomical-atlas-changes-what-we-know-about-acupuncture-and-medical-history-140506?fbclid=IwAR2A3k-dclwn31V9yEK02UDSWqFUMTL05hlaKfSHfRRE56CseWq0VLyvA-4 Persons Vivien Shaw, Isabelle Winder Title Ancient Chinese text revealed to be an anatomical atlas of the human body Degree of recognition Regional Media name/outlet The Bangor Aye Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 2/09/20 URL https://www.thebangoraye.com/ancient-chinese-text-revealed-to-be-an-anatomical-atlas-of-the-human-body/ Persons Vivien Shaw, Isabelle Winder
