History of medicine chronologically traces its development from guesswork about the actions of prehistoric man through the centuries to some aspects of the present day. The intellectual and cultural centres of the world have moved over time to time from place to place. In earlier times all knowledge was part of a conglomerate which one polymath might be able to master in a way no longer open to anyone now. The history of medicine through the ages has been presented here under different subdivisions, such as The Past, The Middle Ages, The Twelfth century Renaissance and Medicine and the Renaissance (Newton's century) etc.
医学史按时间顺序追溯其发展历程,从史前人类行为的猜测开始,历经数百年直至当今的某些方面。世界的知识和文化中心随时间不断变迁。在早期,所有知识都属于一个综合体,一位博学者或许能够以一种如今任何人都无法企及的方式掌握它。纵观历史,医学史在此按照不同的细分时期呈现,如古代、中世纪、12世纪文艺复兴以及医学与文艺复兴(牛顿时代)等。
