History of the Skeleton

http://www.stanford.edu/class/history13/earlysciencelab/body/skeletonpages/skeleton.html

This Website has information about the History of the skeleton (During the Renaissance Period), and information on what they found so intriguing about the Skeleton. It also has drawings done by people of that time, showing their understanding about the structure, how it works e.t.c.

It also talks about a person called 'Galen', but I have been unable to find out who exactly Galen is.

The language used it not very 'Kid Friendly' (made me make use of my Dictionary!) but it has lots of interesting and helpful information and opinions.
