Anatomy Is Alive! Surprising and Important Medical Discoveries of the 20th–21st Centuries That Went Unnoticed

This book contains tables, graphs, and illustrations in the form of a PDF file that you can download from the audiobook page on the website after purchasing it.

This book proves that behind the dry lines of a biology textbook there are exciting stories—hypotheses, debates, coincidences, and discoveries. Its author, biologist and medical journalist Daniil Davydov, reveals the tangled process of medical discoveries made in the 20th–21st centuries. Do you know that an internal organ can disappear from an anatomy atlas for several centuries? Or that another organ remained unnoticed for a long time and was discovered only a few years ago? And the brain still hides many secrets, and its structure seems like a real treasure map.

The author will take you on an engaging tour through historical eras and the human body, explaining step by step how scientists, knowledge, and science itself grew.
