::Further to the above, I came across problems with one of Jagged 85's sources. (For full details see [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#The Islamic Contribution to Science, Mathematics and Technology: Towards Motivating the Muslim Child]] and the Jagged 85 cleanup project that it links to.) Because of the many problems, including misrepresenting sources, undue weight and so forth, that have been ascribed to him I am reverting some of his changes, represented by [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_biology&diff=185441717&oldid=183609032 this] combined diff. I will look at the rest of his edits to this article in due course. All the best, ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>01:50, 10 April 2014 (UTC).</small><br />
 
== Ancient medicine may actually be understated in the article ==
 
I added links to [[Susruta]] and [[Zhang Zhongjing]], who I was disappointed to find missing here. Still, I think the article might provide more detail on the [[Ebers Papyrus]] and other texts demonstrating that ancient surgeons were well aware of the concept of anaesthesia. Anaesthesia with [[opium]], [[deadly nightshade]], [[cannabis]], [[aconite]] and other drugs was a crucial advance which permitted physicians to perform involved surgeries, and therefore gave them both the reason and the opportunity to learn more about human anatomy and physiology. Even the ancient [[Sumeria]]ns grew opium and performed surgeries. The roots of medicine are very deep - there is actually some (debatable) evidence that [[Neanderthal]]s collected medicinal herbs such as [[Achillea]] for the ill. (see {{PMID|1548898}})
:I think the text you added on [[Susruta]] and [[Zhang Zhongjing]] was quite reasonable. However, there is a separate [[history of medicine]] article and I think we want to limit the level of detail that goes into this article on topics covered (or that should be covered) elsewhere.

:I added a mention of the Ebers papyrus. I agree that one-sentence summaries are best here (partly because these ancient traditions did not create a "science", as the word is understood today, and partly for the reason given by Cashman). Readers who want further knowledge can click on the Wikilinks, which also serve as references. I would have put in links to "main articles", but I don't know how yet.
