Did andreas vesalius believe in the four humors theory?
I found this statement: “Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) published De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body) (1543), which discredited Galen’s views. He found that the circulation of blood resolved from pumping of the heart. He also assembled the first human skeleton from cutting open cadavers.” To reiterate from another source: “The study of human anatomy freed itself completely from the shackles of Galenic theory by the publication in 1543 of the first complete textbook of human anatomy by Andreas Vesalius. Vesalius proposed that the heart was the centre of the vascular network, and believed that the pulmonary veins carried air from the lungs to the left atrium6. Vesalius’ monumental work opened the doors to further advances.
