Prehistoric An imbalance in one of the four ‘humors’ of the body (blood, yellow bile, black bile and phlegm) caused disease. Egyptian The miasma theory was ignored, as religion became widespread and the idea that disease was from God, and prayer was the cure. Greek The scientific method was created and knowledge of anatomy increased due to drawings by da Vinci and Michelangeo. But the miasma theory was back! Roman Spirits were the cause and cure of disease. Medieval War gave the opportunity to study wounds, but it was thought that bad air (miasma) was the cause of disease. Renaissance Observations of organs through mummification gave rise to the ‘Channel Theory’ of disease where an evil spirit blocked a channel, thus causing disease.
