Five men, and the entire idea that living things can be understood. McRae's short lives run from Hippocrates and Aristotle through Galen to Vesalius and Harvey, the observers who insisted on looking rather than repeating. The long argument that turned biology from philosophy into evidence, told in five clean portraits and no wasted words.
