the first documented mention of comparative pathology comes from hippocrates (460 - 370 bce) in "airs, waters, places" where he describes relevant case histories for horse herds and human populations. he insists that diagnosis be based on experience, observation, and logic. aristotle (384 - 322 bce) hypothesized about interspecies transmission of disease. the anatomy and physiology schools opened in alexandria by erasistratus (404 - 320 bce) and herophilus (330 - 255 bce) were directly inspired by aristotle's work. although most of the documents were destroyed when the library of alexandria burned.
