Humanism Dbq

Humanism influenced people during the Renaissance in at least two ways such as anatomy and astronomy. Anatomy and astronomy had greatly changed during the Renaissance period. They had discovered that the Earth was not the center of the universe,but the church kept teaching that it was the center. They also dissected the human body to find out about it. Anatomy was viewed very differently they had discovered many new things about the human body. For example they believed that the human body was controlled by the 12 zodiac signs or the star constellation(Doc D). The human body was a complete mystery until the Renaissance period they knew nothing about the human anatomy or astronomy. They discovered that dissecting the human body only then would
then be able to better understand. This evidence helps explain that the Renaissance period really contributed to today's thoughts and opinions about these two subjects.
