1. What factors probably stimulated an early interest in the human body?
2. What kinds of activities helped promote the development of modern science?
Post your response and don't forget to comment!
I understand that many of the responses may be simliar, but try to think of other ideas (do not read another student's response before responding for yourself - this will help you think more critically).
I think that when people had died others wanted to learn and understand how it happened. i think that is how it was stimulated in the early interest. I think they just wanted to learn what was all in there bodies. And see if everyone was alike. I thinks that help promote the development to the modern science is that there is always some new kind of illness and they are always trying to find a cure for diseases and improve old medications and by studying the body and its functions it helps.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I think that the studies on human anatomy formed around the want for a longer life. Nice observation. :)
DeleteI agree that people wanted to discover how people died and that developed modern science.
DeleteI also agree people are always curious about learning and understanding the human body, and about life and death.
Delete1. I think that the need for survival stimulated a growth of interest in the human body. By know how it worked, and how different things made it react, they could find solutions to live longer.
ReplyDelete2. I believe that illnesses and injury helped devolp science. By figuring out what types of herbs or minerals helped cure a sickness or what kind of procedure fixed a wound or break, lifes could be prolonged.
I think it is amazing that primitive people were able to find plants, herbs and other substances in nature and determine that they could cure or improve some diseases before research and scientific methods were actually developed.
Delete1. I think that when people died that others were curious why they died and they were curious about the structure of the body and it's functions.
ReplyDelete2. I believe that when people were sick or injured helped develop modren science. By using the different herbs and minerals helped cure peoples illness and pain.
I agree with the curiosity! I think that had a huge part in developing an interest in the human body. :)
DeleteI agree with curiosity, too, because thats what drives us all to do do what we cant
Delete1. I think that when families saw the older generation getting ill or even dying, the interest in how to cure diseases/illnesses began. I think that the younger generations wanted to find out what was happening inside the body when it was ill, or when it was dying.
ReplyDelete2. I think some activities that helped promote modern day science would be people developing a symptom, then seeing it progress into something worse would make people dig deeper into finding a way to cure it.
I definitely agree with you on both of those.
Delete1) I think that our ancestors were interested in how our bodies functioned and how they healed themselves when they became ill or wounded. I think they figured that one could learn how to increase life by obtaining more knowledge about the human body which stimulated interest in that area
ReplyDelete2) When new illnesses were discovered there would be a desire to find out what caused it and how to treat it. As people found that new herbs and treatments cured the illnesses, it helped promote the developement of modern day science
I ~definitely~ agree that the desire to increase our lifespan led to our interest in the human body. Man has always feared the unknown, which made extending our lives quite the priority.
Delete1. I believe that our ancestors were curious about the unknown, like we all are, and wanted to learn as much as possible.
ReplyDelete2. I think the events that helped develope modern science were the illnesses and deseases, because it made researchers want to solve the problem that was presented
I agree. I think that curiosity help start the study of the human body
DeleteI agree, curiousity is what first and stimulated interest in the human body. Everyone wants to figure out the unknown. Good response!
DeleteOur ancestors were just as curious as we are today. How everything works in the human body. They wanted to learn how to heal themselves if they had become ill or wounded. Ways of developing modern day science could be from when new illnesses and diseases were discovered people would want to find how to make the ones with the illnesses and diseases better, and how they could prevent others from getting it.
ReplyDeletei agree with them being curious and wanting better for themselves and later generations! well put (:
DeleteFully agree on the curiosity and learning to heal themselves.~
DeleteCuriosity was probably the main factor that stimulated the interest in the human body. They wanted to know, just like we do, why our body does the things the way it does.
ReplyDeleteThe act of using potions and herbs to heal the sick and wounded helped to develope modern science. As people learned more about what things affected our bodies, medicine advanced and we got to where we are today.
Great observation i also think that it was curiosity that was the main factor. And nice call on the potions and herbs developing the medications today. That was a nice touch.
DeleteI agree with you as well, Taryne. I beleive that we just wanted to know how this life works, well said :)
DeleteI agree with you too Shull, curosity played a huge rule in the discovering.
Delete1. I think they were just curious because they didn't know how the body worked. I'm sure they were wondering why they got sick.
ReplyDelete2.I think as the generations techology improved they were able to find cures for illnesses.I'm sure the future generations will find cures for todays illnesses as the technology improves.
-Brandon Thacker
Very well said on the second answer! totally agree! :)
DeleteI will on both of your answers, because we have seen that with all of this technology we have been able to diagnose more illnesses and find more cures.
Delete~ I think that others wanted to learn from those that had passed from illnesses or just passed in general, to learn how the body functions, what it needs to survive, and to find medical cures for diseases.
ReplyDelete~ I think that modern science and technology grew and with that came the development of modern medicine.
I think curiosity simulated an early interest in the human body, i mean look at how much we currently know but we are still are wanting to learn more & more about our bodies today.
ReplyDeleteI think that studying illness, wounds, & the dead helped them learn & come up with our modern science/technology.
I agree! Curiosity seems to be the main reason we try to learn anything.
DeleteConflict between beliefs that inevitably sparked a sort of curiosity, to prove one theory over another(religious?). Perhaps extending the human life was what ignited the initial investigation into the human body?
ReplyDeleteI think that war definitely provided the right circumstance to further our understanding of just how we worked. healing certain injuries required further knowledge. Healthy troops meant a potential expansion within a nation, which then made science a priority worldwide.

DeleteThis is an interesting view of early anatomy. War could have definitly spark a reason for us to futher our knowledge of health. never would have thought of that!
Deletei agree with brandon on curiosity
Delete1. Early interest in the human body was obviously fueled by our curiousity, how do we live? We knew that we are born, we live, then we die, but how does it all happen. It became necessary to find out how to keep ourselves healthy; how to treat illnesses and wounds. Overall, we wanted to know what we are, how we work, and even how to improve our lives.
ReplyDelete2. I think mordern science was promoted through the curiousity of our bodies. Early methods of treating illness and wounds,and examining the dead promoted further investigation into mordern science even beyond the human body.
halona? youuu worded this sooo well. immm jealous. and i think you are totally right. when i was younger and still now, i've always wondered how our bodies worked, like i said on our last blog, it is sooo magical(: but yes, of course humans then were curious about how we live and die and such. i love it !!!
DeleteVery thought out. Great response!
Deletethe wondering in how our bodies work sparked an early interest in the human body. for example: why healthy people didnt get sick as often. injuries and how fast some of them healed. healears discovering ways to treat the sick. and which herbs helped certain illness. i mean, would this not interest you? some of these activities also helped promote the development of modern science. after healers started to discover ways to treat the sick we began to examine the world around us. and as our knowledge of the body grew we started to put names and functions to the different sections of the body. in turn, this helped assist the development of modern science.
ReplyDeleteMikhayla, this an almost perfect answer. lol, nice work! i agree with all of it!
Delete1) The early interest came from the curiosity of our ancestors. Just like today, we are constantly questioning and looking for more complex answers in the human body.
ReplyDelete2)The development of modern science came from the illnesses and diseases that took place. Because of these setbacks, certain medicines and herbs were discovered to help cure the sick.
I agree with you Myers! The questioning comtinues and we are always looking for answers.
Delete1) I think the curiosity of our earliest ancestors stimulated the interest of the human body. They made observations on how things worked, just like we do today.
ReplyDelete2) Some activities that helped promote the development of modern science were injuries, illnesses, and death. They found certain things that treated common problems. People began to believe that humans could understand forces that caused natural events. They began to observe and question things.
I didn't know we had to write a paragraph, but with that..it's a very good one.
Delete1. I think that people have always had a curiosity of the unknown which would stimulate the interest in the human body.
ReplyDelete2. As people learned more about the human body, more questions and problems came about also, causing modern science to develop in order to answer those questions and solve the problems.
i agree with the second thing you said for sure! people wanted to know answers so they asked questions and developed medicines.
DeleteI agree with you and Abby. People had all of these questions that nobody could answer so they investigated their questions.
DeleteThat is a very interesting way of thinking about that. I didn't really think of it that way until I read this. I find it very interesting.
Delete1. People, probably like doctors or scientists probably wondered what’s inside the human body and what the organs may look like.
ReplyDelete2. Once people did some dissecting on some body’s they more than likely became ever more curious and then studied in more detail on the organs, diseases, and etc.
I agree with you, that they were curious about the human body
Delete1. People wanted to know what their body's can do and how much it can take of it.
ReplyDelete2. See people in pain for illness make people want to do something about it so they look in to it cure and help injuries
totally true!
Delete1. I think that curiosity was what stimulated an interest in the human body. Other people could see themselves getting sick or others dying and they wanted to know what was causing those things.
ReplyDelete2. Because of those illnesses people started to observe these problems and used dissecting and herbs to help cure them.
I totally agree with you!:) I think people will always be curious about the human body-they want to live for as long and be healthy for as long as they can.
Delete1. I think the main reason people became interested in the human body is simple curiosity. I think people wondered why people get sick or why become blind. I think they wanted to help prevent these diseases from spreading to others and to help cure the individual who is sick.
ReplyDelete2. I think that once people started to become interested in the human body, they started to find ways to understand it better. One way was to open up dead bodies to study the structure of the body. They also started experimenting with making medicines to help cure people.
I agree with how people wanted to try and stop sickness and diseases from spreading and how people learned how to better care for people through their mistakes.
Delete1. i think people became interested with the human body when people became ill and/or died and no one knew why.
ReplyDelete2. the stimulate for modern science, im sure, came from the same curiosity from the answer to the first question. when people would fall ill or die, no one knew why, so being the curious species we are, humans would have of course wanted to know more and more, and with the development of better technology, it just made things easier, thus bringing us "modern science"
I agree with your statements! humans are very curious about how things work and always have been fascinated by the human body.
DeleteI think interest in the human body was stimulated by people's curiousity, particularly in regard to health. When people discovered it was possible to heal a sick person or treat an injury, it started a revolution in the way people looked at medicine and healing. From that, new techniques, observations, and treatments were used that proved to be much more effective than previous ones. These new techniques and ideas, along with new terms, helped to promote the development of modern science.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree with you more. Well said.
Delete1. I think that curiosity fuels everything.. Our ancestors like us today were interested in the human body and how it works.
ReplyDelete2. When people began testing with differant medicanes and caring for different injuries, actually looking into how the different parts and remedies fixed certain things it just boomed more curiosity to find out more.
1. I think people became interested from our early ancestors. People early on never knew you could fix what was happening to a person and when that was discovered it fueled a whole new interest in medicine and the body.
ReplyDelete2. Injuries, illness,and death promoted the development of science. Researchers became inclined to finding out what caused this and how to fix it.
1. I think the curiosity of the human body never started with a certain generation. Everyone was and still is curious about the human body. Factors such as illnesses and injuries way back when probably prompted people to look more into the study of the human body.
ReplyDelete2. Just like the curiousity of the human body, illnesses and injuries helped promote the development of modern science. People saught to figure out why things happened and how they could help/prevent them from happening.
1)Curiousity about how the body worked was one factor that stimulated an early interest in the human body as well as concerns of injuries and illnesses.
ReplyDelete2)The kinds of activities that helped promote development of modern science were close observations of society and the world around it.
well said.
Delete1) I believe that no one generation started the curiousity about the human body. Everyone has been and still are curious about the it. People became curious when it came to figuring out how to survive, how people die, how to heal the sick, etc. That's how people got to study the human body.
ReplyDelete2) I think the biggest factor in promoting the development of modern science is still the same as it was many years ago, people want to know how to cure the ill and help the injured, so they researched it so they could figure it out.
I very much agree!
Delete1. I think that some of the factors that helped stimulate the early interest in the human body was or curiosity to see how the body worked and how we could potentially use or knowlege to help cure or heal different ailments or injuries that might occur.
ReplyDelete2. I think that there were several activities that helped promote the development of modern sciences; especially in the fields of anatomy and physiology such as post-mortem disection and analysis and experimentation of of different kinds of medicines and remedies to help cure sicknesses and diseases.
1. The factors that probably stimulated an early interest in the study of the body would be when people became sick. Others wanted to know what it was that caused this. They studied the symptoms of the sickness and the environment around them to see if that was the cause of the sickness. People would then want to know how to cure this sickness so they would most likely study the reaction of the patients to figure out what medication worked.
ReplyDelete2.People wanted to further their knowledge of the world around them so they started to observe,ask questions, and seek out answers about the world they lived in.
I agree! (:
Deletepeople were curious about their bodys and how everything worked in it,so when someone died they would study their body parts inside and out. they didnt know alot about the body and they wanted to learn more.2.they started to observe the sick people the healthy people and the dead and find the differences in them.
ReplyDelete1. My opinion is that it was just out of pure curiosity to be curious about the human body. i dont think there was a specific time people started wondering about it. they have just always been so fascinated by what affects the body and how we become sick etc.
ReplyDelete2. As we go into more depth of the human body, we become more curious about whats next to come and what our bodies will adapt to next. because that is how the human race works.
Exactly my thoughts
Deletegood thinkin micaela, i agree!:)
Delete1. I believe that humans have always been interested in the body since day one. We are a very inquisitive species and we have a complex brain and vast thinking abilities. Not to sound weird, but I don't think obvious things like, diseases or infections, had to stimulate them in order for them to start learning and observing the body. I believe the main stimulant was curiosity with how the complex human body works. 2. I would predict that when someone died they examined the body just as someone today would, but I also think they might have done tests on those willing to participate. As they learned one fact, I am sure that they kept pursuing, asking and answering questions. Which them lead to nonstop and fascinating discoveries that are crucial to the advanced medical field today.
ReplyDelete--Brianne L. Holtkamp
i fully agree with what your saying here
Delete1.) I think that many different and conflicting ideas along with curiosity fueled the early interest in the human body. Most people want to know why things are the way they are and what makes them that way which probably led to studies on the subject.
ReplyDelete2.) People gathered more information on the subject through studies and observations on people, and eventually a dissection of animals or the human body.
I agree with your comment that people want to know why things are the way they are. We are curious creatures that don't usually settle for "good enough". We always want an explaination.
DeleteI agree with the both of you. Curiosity gets the best of us. People will continue to want to know more and more. Without curiosity though we wouldn't have the knowledge of the things we know today.
DeleteAbnormalities and illnesses are probably what made people interested in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. They wished to know the cause, the treatment, and the prevention of their health problems. Healing the sick and performing atopsies were probably the biggest promoters in the development of modern science.
ReplyDeletei think the reason we study anatomy and physialogy is because we try to understand the structurer and functon of the body to further understand some of the diseiaes and stuff that hurt our structure and functions.
ReplyDeleteThey were really curious about the human body and how it functions. This curiosity lead to research. Even today we are still curious about the body and how to treat certain illness. As new illnesses develop we would like to know what it is, what caused it, how to prevent it, and if it's curable. As people figure how medicine work such as herbs and other plants,they would look more into how the illness is being effected by the medicine. Observation from the outside to the dissection process promoted the development of modern science.
ReplyDeleteI believe it was pure curiosity that lead to researching the human body. People wanted to know how and why things happened. People becoming ill probably also sparked the curiosity in the human body. Wanting to know what causes what, and what helps what.
ReplyDeleteWe research things today for the same reasons we did in the past. We want to know more. We want to know how, what, why, that way we can understand things better.
1) I believe it is curiosity that makes a person wonder on how the body functions and is like on the inside
ReplyDelete2) I belive it is the advancement in technoogy, research, and theroies
1) I think that everyone was curious and wanted to know. They were interested in how the human body works.
ReplyDelete2) They started looking into illnesses and helped promote the development of modern science.
