Andreas Vesalius On The Fabrics Of The Human Body

The Scientific Revolution that started around the 1500s, in the late Renaissance period. It all begin with the title, “On the Fabrics of the Human Body” first published by Andreas Vesalius that forms the foundation of modern biology. Due to the rapid development in the field of plant research, the study of anatomy had also been influenced to further expand. Andreas Vesalius does not believe in solely reading the standardised anatomy work by the physician Galen instead, he opted for a more hands-on exploration of human body. This resulted in him coming up with remarkable information on anatomy that is still being referred to up till these days.
During this period of time, many scientists started circulating their own research work around, reason being, some of the conclusions of their research work differs from the already-established ones. The unpredicted analysis had brought several scientists into the spotlight, particularly, the 3 mentioned below.

After years of research and observations of the movement in the sky, the Renaissance mathematician finally concluded that instead of Earth being the center, like what Aristotle claimed it was, if the Sun is placed in the center of the orbit, the theory would have fit and reasoned more logically.

He feared the reaction, rejection in particularly, from the public towards his theory that denied what Aristotle and the Bible, whom both everyone believed in, mentioned of. He was more afraid of the criticisms he might receive for any false information or inaccurate research
