- Andreas Vesalius
- 31st December 1514 - 15 October 1564
- Anatomist, Physician, author of 'On the Fabric of the Human Body'
- Debated where to take blood from when bleeding people.
- Discovered that Galen's work was based on animal Anatomy rather than human
- So wrote his own sources based on human Anatomy
- Many people resented him for the idea that Galen was wrong
- Discovered that the lower jaw bone was just one piece, not two pieces as Galen thought.
- Also proving Galen wrong, Vesalius found out that humans do not have the 'miraculous network' of blood vessels at the base of the Brain, as sheep and other ungulates.
