Discover Magazine: When the ancients were wise.

“The Renaissance had been an efflorescence of learning, but it had been retarded in its progress in some ways because of the reverence for ancient precedents. This is most evident in medicine and physics, where Galen and Aristotle led scientists astray.  There are some domains where the ancients still hold sway today. Religion is one.”
