| Name the barriers of Prehistoric Surgery and Anatomy. | Communication: ability to pass on knowledge, cave paintings kept incorrect knowledge alive. Supernatural: main way that prehistoric people explained how the world worked led to incorrect methods and assumptions. |
| Name the breakthroughs within Prehistoric Surgery and Anatomy. | Trephining: based on letting spirits out, yet it was a surgical procedure (ish). Some basic healing by medicine men and women, along with witch doctors. Evidence of bones healing with the use of early, basic splints/bandages. |
| Name the barriers with Ancient Egyptian Surgery and Anatomy. | Dissection is banned- the body was kept preserved for use in the afterlife. They had limited knowledge. They believed heavily in the supernatural. |

| Name the breakthroughs within Ancient Roman Surgery and Anatomy. | More structured society: taxation, laws, government. Work of Galen: discovered that the brain controls speech instead of heart, so understanding of anatomy increased. He also worked on gladiators and wounded soldiers- large number of simple operations. Amputations and Trephining performed. |
