Abstract

Human anatomy was formally study for the first time at Egypt and was soon characterized by direct observations and principles of philosophy, since that its comprehension comes in the light of evolution being. This research aimed to understand the study of Galen as a source of human anatomy knowledge, besides to describe his biography with emphasis on his contributions to human anatomy and to relate his findings and anatomical exegesis in the face of discoveries of others philosophers. It was concluded that anatomy´s understanding requires the social and cultural rescue of Greece, where the first philosophers lived, and that Galen´s ideology was based on his creativity and originality.
