False

Ancient philosophers influenced the present comprehension of the human body and medicine. Their theories were the basis for research, even though some of their beliefs contain inconsistencies.

  • Aristotle made significant contributions to the study of anatomy and physiology.
  • Maimonides produced famous books on medical ethics and the healing arts.

The writings of these ancient thinkers are still cited today in the fields of medical history and the history of science.
