The Four Humours Explained - video questions, differentiated

These questions are for a twenty-five-minute video. Comprehensive yet pacy, mixing narration with contemporary sources (where possible). The film follows the rise and gradual fall of humourism, citing social, religious and scientific angles. Famous experiments and tipping points, movements within science, explained: historical context, faith healing; Empedocles’ elements; Hippocrates; four humours contrasted with contemporary Chinese and Indian systems; the Hippocratic Corpus; pneuma, chyle; dietary treatments; Dioscorides’ Materia Medica; weather; Herophilus and Eristratus, dissections; Polybius; GALEN - mood influenced by humours; popularity and productivity; Galen challenged, the Islamic Golden Age, Bayt al-Hikma;Haly Abbas, Al-Razi, Ibn Sina; universities - al-Qarawiyyin, Bologna; humourism and the church; the status of dissection, Pope Sixtus IV; Vesalius challenges Galen; Aselli, Harvey; pathology; Bonet, Morgagni, Baillie; microscopy –Hooke, van Leeuwenhoek, Schleiden and Schwann, Virchow. The film has ONE JOKE, which, to be fair, isn’t too bad.
