Most European medical schools did not emphasize anatomy in their curricula until the post-Renaissance era; current knowledge was largely produced between the 16th and 20th centuries. Although not all cultures throughout history have viewed anatomy as fundamental to medicine, most have formed ideas about the internal and external mechanisms of the body—influences on the field of anatomy that are often overlooked by scholars and practitioners of Western medicine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistory of Anatomy: An International Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e explores the global and ancient origins of our modern-day understanding of anatomy, presenting detailed biographies of anatomists from varied cultural and historical settings. Chapters organized by geographic region, including Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, review the lives of those that helped shape our current understanding of the human form. Examining both celebrated and lesser-known figures, this comprehensive work examines their contributions to the discipline and helps readers develop a global perspective on a cornerstone of modern medicine and surgery. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary examination of the history of anatomy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTraces the emergence of modern knowledge of anatomy from ancient roots to the   modern era\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFills a gap in current literature on global perspectives on the history of anatomy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by an internationally recognized team of practicing physicians and scholars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistory of Anatomy: An International Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e is an engaging and insightful historical review written for anatomists, anthropologists, physicians, surgeons, medical personnel, medical students, health related professionals, historians, and anyone interested in the history of anatomy, surgery, and medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eR.
