1
Read — Galen and 1,400 Years of Mistakes
Read a short article or passage on Galen — the most influential doctor in history, who based his human anatomy on pig and monkey dissections and got a lot wrong for 1,400 years. Search for “Galen anatomy errors history” — there are good accessible articles online.
2
Respond — What Galen Got Wrong
Research Galen’s errors and respond in whatever format you choose. A “what Galen thought vs. reality” visual comparison would be great here, but it’s your call.
3
Explore — Why It Took So Long
Why did it take so long to correct Galen? This is a media literacy question in disguise — it’s about authority, institutional trust, and what happens when questioning the accepted source is socially unacceptable. Good territory for a Claude conversation.
