Not even 10m and you just covered like a semester's worth of my high school history class, in about as much detail as needed to pass XD good work can't wait for more
I know it's not a history channel, but I wanted to know about Sushruta, also known as the first surgeon. If you have time please consider making a video related to him
Hermes was syncretized with Mercury and Djehuty/Thoth considered the god of medicine and herbs/drugs and Asclepius was the student if Hermes and the syncretization Hermes Trismagestus. This syncretization is not modern. This is why generally doctors use the Caduceus and paramedics/nurses use the Rod of Asclepius.
I really like this series of videos I liked that timeline you made on the bottom that shows Mankind's Evolution Through the Ages your videos are very good and put forth in a very understanding way to the Layman thank you very much for your Channel
And in one quick swoop the Greek origins are combined with Latinized names. The way the Romans took over from the Greek is how modern medicine became the dread of those learning Latin and old-Greek, mixing and mashing words without any respect for grammar or origins. Even outside of the field, names like Homeros are practically always designated by the Latinized "Homerus". "Theseus" is fine, as long as you don't split it into "These-us". Apart from that, great video!
That guy from the thumbnail, sitting at his desk writing away while jars of blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile sit next to him... Wow. I didn't know 4CHAN had been around for so long.
Really comprehensive yet concise Great presentation With all due respect you forgot Dioscorides His Materia Medica was the primary source of pharmacy for physicians for over 1600 years
Hello professor dave, thanks for the very comprehensive and compact explanation, but I'm just wondering, how do you research all of this? I've been researching the history of pharmacy and can't seem to piece out all the bits of information. Are u using a book, or other historical forms?
Professor Dave even though I also liked this video a lot but as one of these comments mentioned you should have also told about surgeons from india. I very well understood that these ancient civilizations had very less contributions as compared to modern scientific contributions but still I think you should have mentioned about Ayurveda or about medicine in indus river valley civilization.
Good points. But he's really trying to stick to pharmaceuticals and drugs and not just generalized medicine. Being the artist that's helping him out, I've found while sourcing the imagery that while China and India contributed a LOT...specific to drugs there isn't a lot too say other than particular herbs.
@@cyrenedomogalla4023 You said while sourcing the imagery you found china and india contributed a lot specific to drugs there isn't a lot too say other than particular herbs. About this line
@@Zyrean7007 Thanks for providing citation. If this is really important to you and not just a play at arguing on the internet, I encourage you to do your own research. Remember that Prof Dave is pretty adamant about talking about things that are facts, not beliefs. Yes i am not another keyboard warrior self obsessed with his civilization. I really want to learn science in particular particle physics and cosmology but i am also interested in medicine and psychology and history.
He has literally been a college chemistry teacher for one thing. But it's a good question, he has talked before on Aron Ra's channel that he studies to learn new thing and increase his knowledge in wider subjects than just chemistry and science. But as far as science goes he has literally taught in college.
If I was a medical doctor, even as an atheist, I would absolutely swear by Apollo the Physician, Asclepius, Hygieia, Panacea and all the gods and goddesses as my witnesses...
I just thought while looking at the Materia Medica, that maybe THAT is what the Voyanich manuscript was actually supposed to be. I think it is just the pictures of the plants. But now that we are getting it translated or so I hear that should be up to the test.
The Voyanich Manuscript probably is a sort of alchemical materia medica judging by the images. Many times such things were also kept secret because of the overlap with the so called "occult" and the making of drugs, poisons, abortifacients and hallucinagens, sometimes used as entheogens. These were not liked by the church.
I sometimes wonder if the reason the symbol of the snake is chosen is that biologically active compounds in snakes may have been used as medicinal compounds
I had to be reminded of the difference between Hypocrite and Hippocrates. Interesting. Phlegm. Yellow bile. Black bile. It's hard for me to "produce" and spit phlegm. 🧐
Surgery is not drugs. It's true China and India contributed a lot of medicinal practices. But specifically in regards to Drugs, not as much to talk about that's substantial. In 9min, he needs to focus.
Yes, and the main active ingredient and most potent of the various alkaloids in opium is morphine. That component wasn't isolated back then, but is obviously contained in the poppy sap.

So you just easily and conveniently ignore ancient India and the widely practiced Ayurveda. The significance of ancient indian culture to medicine has been immense and its unacceptable that it was left out. Sushruta and his principles are a benchmark in the history of medicine
I think he talked that influence of Greeks on western medicine was more and he surely put dhanvantari photo at 2:45. I think he will cover it in next video you will be aware that Sumerian and Egyptians were before Indus river valley you can argue on Greek because Indus river valley was before Greeks so he should have shown Indus river valley before Greeks.
Western pharmacology surpassed traditional eastern medicines such as Ayurveda and Chinese Traditional Medicine, largely due to the academic interpollination of all the cultures of the Middle East, Ancient, Egypt, Greece and Rome. This is about the development of pharmacology which expanded past western herbal tradition when the easy was still holding onto herbal cures.
The video is very good, and I have learned many important pieces of information. However, I am writing a report about the history of pharmacy or medicine, and I need sources of information. Can you provide me with the sources, please? 🥲

2. Drug
3. Scapegoat

In lieu of an answer from Dave, I would suggest starting with Google Scholar.

Too be fair: The American Healthcare System accidentally symbolizing medicine as a mere commodity is pretty fitting.

What about Shushruta, the Father of Surgery and India's ancient Ayurveda? No mention of these -_-
Surgery is not drugs. It's true China and India contributed a lot of medicinal practices. But specifically in regards to Drugs, not as much to talk about that's substantial. In 9min, he needs to focus.
Because even though it's popular in India and Pakistan Ayurveda is widely considered a psuedoscience and didn't contribute to the modern pharmacology.

You said they knew about morphine. Morphine was invented or exteacted or whatever in 1803. Opium was around back then though.
Yes, and the main active ingredient and most potent of the various alkaloids in opium is morphine. That component wasn't isolated back then, but is obviously contained in the poppy sap.

He's not ignoring it. It's just that those things are not specific to drugs. That's more generalized medicine and doesnt fit in this series.
