Title: The Curious History of the Heart: A Cultural and Scientific Journey by Vincent M. Figueredo
Genre: Non-Fiction, Science, Medical
Rating: 5 Stars
The introduction of The Curious History of the Heart introduces us to the idea that historically, the heart was the centre of the self and the most important organ in the body. However, as technological and medical advances were made this was switched to the brain. Yet, this doesn’t explain that heart-brain connection and it seems that recently the more historical view on the heart being more important than just a pump to move blood around the body is making a comeback.
