The body as an object of medical science


I started my search by trying to find journals on the subject matter but found it increasingly difficult, 
so i moved onto trying to search on the internet for any type of information or articles on my title.
I found this image of a Malayan Male, by John Lamprey


This was recorded for medical research, At the time pigmies were as something to be owned an bought over and put into zoo's, they recorded and archived to show the evolution of man, many of the pigmies that lived in zoo's were living along side animals and were seen as freaks.


Dr Guillaume-Benjamin Duchenne  (1862) The Mechanism of Human Facial Expression

My second image, is showing the medical purpose of shock therapy to show how different facial muscles move, each image was recorded an documented to show the progression of how medical research an science has helped throughout the years, without it we would not be where we are today in the technological advances in science.
