City of God_, speaks with some bitterness of "medical men who are called anatomists," and who "with a cruel zeal for science have dissected the bodies of the dead, and sometimes of sick persons, who have died under their knives, and have inhumanly pried into the secrets of the human body to learn the nature of disease and its exact seat, and how it might be cured." ❋ Ellwood Patterson Cubberley (1904)
But by studying the subject more extensively and considering the structure of the simpler brains of animals, in which the complexity of the human brain is reduced to simpler forms, a mode of grouping and classifying the convolutions has been adopted by anatomists which is illustrated by the engraving, in which we see, not the numerous convolutions of a well developed human brain, but the groups in which they have been arranged by the aid of comparative anatomy. ❋ Unknown (1856)
The name comes from the Latin word for “new bark,” which is what it looked like to early anatomists. ❋ Michael Chorost (2011)

Here, intriguingly, she creatively "discusses" the recent use in medical schools of "simulated patients" – actors, hi-fidelity manikins and interactive digital software – a practice she compares with public dissections by early anatomists. ❋ Robert Clark (2010)
Some of the best PhD's in the history of the field only specialized in bone morphology, and have been anything but good artists and anatomists even Alan Feduccia, with all his flawed conclusions, is nevertheless a PhD! ❋ Peter Bond (2009)
My purpose in spending a day with the anatomists dissecting a giraffe was to study the recurrent laryngeal nerve as an example of evolutionary imperfection. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
Ardipithecus, which lived 4–5 million years ago, is known mainly from teeth, but enough cranial and foot bones have been found to suggest, at least to most anatomists who have attended to it, that it walked upright. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
The day after Darwin Day 2009 his 200th birthday I was privileged to spend the whole day with a team of comparative anatomists and veterinary pathologists at the Royal Veterinary College near London, dissecting a young giraffe that had unfortunately died at a zoo. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
A new study shows that anatomists, taxidermists, and toy designers get the walking gait of horses and other quadruped animals wrong about half the time. ❋ Unknown (2009)
