Discovery & Invention, Period 5, 13 Feb '08

"Human anatomy," said Mohinder when the class assembled. "A field in which the primary European text for over a millenia was largely based on the vivisection of dogs."

"There have been a number of religious prescriptions against conducting dissections, and although some of the earliest we know of were committed almost a thousand years ago they remained a relative rarity. Criminals could be sentenced not only to death, but also dissection. For the more serious offences."

Mohinder pointed at the diagram on the board behind him, contining a brief outline, "Circulation, digestion, respiratory, nervous, but one of the earliest system to be mapped was muscularskeleton system." And then in further detail.

"I won't ask you to commit any misdemeanors in class," and Mohinder smiled at that, "But I do want you to assemble the human skeletal system from the modelled bones in front of you," and he nodded at the boxes on the students' desks.
