Andreas Vesalius, 16th century Flemish anatomist, 1954. Vesalius (1514-1564) great work on anatomy De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Structure of the Human Body) (1543) was a landmark, with accurate depictions of parts of the body, including the nervous system. Vesalius based his work on dissection and personal observation, disproving the belief that because, in Genesis, God created Eve from Adams rib, men had one less rib than women. He contradicted Aristotles teaching that the heart is the seat of the emotions, replacing it with the brain and the nervous system. A print from Leonardo da Vinci by Ludwig H Heydenreich. (London, 1954)
