DESCRIPTION:Pr Heinrich von Staden\nClaims concerning the relevance of ear
 lier periods in the history of science for understanding contemporary scie
 nce must be subjected to critical and even skeptical scrutiny\, yet some p
 erspectives evoked by the history of ancient science and medicine resonate
  with contemporary issues. These include the ancient recognition of the pe
 rvasiveness of observational and inferential errors\; debates about scient
 ific method\; the uses of animal experimentation and human experimentation
 \; and shifting notions of ‘evidence’ and ‘proof’.
