Animal testing has been around a long time with an un-pretty history. With technology not being as advanced as it is today to use other alternative methods scientists tested their theories on animals. Animals used in scientific experiments go back as early to Greek physician scientists such as Aristotle‚ Erasistratus and Galen. Galen practiced in Rome where he conducted animal experiments to advance the understanding of anatomy‚ physiology‚ pathology and pharmacology. Arab physician in the 12th

In the past‚ animal testing has often contributed to human kind and was most of the time accurate‚ but as we progress‚ we slowly dive into the smaller details‚ that we as humans differ completely from animals. Small intricate things such as single gene markers‚ that maybe both humans and primates have‚ but respond differently to differently things can drastically change the results of a test.
