Hippocrates
In the history of human thermodynamics, Hippocrates (c. 460-370 BC) was a Greek physician, commonly known as the “father of medicine”, noted for his view of human animation in relation to fire, in particular that “heat, a quantity which functions to animate, derives from an internal fire located in the left ventricle”. [1] This was referred to as the doctrine of internal heat. [2] References
