Anatomy started with the Greeks/Helens? Wrong.[edit]

Over 1,000 years before that the ancient people of Khemete (we call the region Egypt) studied anatomy. In fact, even the father of Greek medicine admitted that the greatest doctor was Imhotep of Egypt.  The academic racism on wikipedia is alarming.--2604:2000:DDD1:4900:250B:BF6E:9B88:A2CA (talk) 11:38, 2 December 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't know about who started anatomy,but as far I have given the glance on this article, there is no statement which meant it has started by Greeks,all it says is the word is derived from Greek language, please look into your misconception and correct me if I'm wrong..! #spread_love Vamsi Kumpatla (talk) 18:47, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Vivisection[edit]

Hi. In the ancient history it is said: They also conducted vivisections on the cadavers of condemned criminals. It is wrong, since cadavers are nor living.--Kani (talk) 11:26, 3 November 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
