The images that can be distinguished the most from the Topic 10 video are the posters from the book of Giambattista della Porta that show the similarity of human faces to animal faces. These posters illustrate the idea that a person whose facial features are similar to a particular animal will share the same characteristics that are inherent in the given animal. This seems to me highly interesting since I did not imagine that such things could be taken seriously. I assumed that, in ancient times, there was an idea that a person can adopt the characteristics of animals and their qualities. However, I did not know that such a relationship was developed at a scientific level in the 17th century.
I am familiar with the concept of physiognomy, and I knew that there was an idea that the characteristics of a person can be considered based on the appearance of his face. Nevertheless, I did not know that the structure of the skull also refers to physiognomy and that, even in the 18th and 19th centuries, this concept was discussed scientifically. With regard to blood transfusion, I assumed that initially, even while practicing this procedure, people did not know about blood groups and their compatibility in order to provide more productive blood transfer. I did not know the history of blood banking, how actively donation was promoted during the Second World War, and that the Red Cross preferred the blood of white people. To confront contemporary medical disinformation, we should stop romanticizing the time when black people were treated as non-human. In other words, we need to stop portraying periods in history when prejudice against certain groups of people was reinforced by medical misinformation. What is more, it is essential to spread information concerning racism in medicine.
