What is the major contribution to medical science contributed by the ancient Greeks, between 1200 and 200 BCE?
Plants and herbs were no longer used for healing, and instead medical compounds became more common.
The Greeks were the first civilization that dissected people who died of a disease.
This era marked a shift towards understanding the causes of diseases, not just the treatment and symptoms.
They invented many medical tools, including forceps, scalpels, and surgical scissors, which are still used today.
