Ouch, but quite interesting.
There are eons of knowledge tucked away about life. This is simply from the 1920's a.d./ c.e.
Not so fond of the word hu-man...
Wiki Etymology of man:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_(word)
It is derived from a Proto-Indo-European root *man- (see Sanskrit/Avestan manu-, Slavic mǫž "man, male").[1] In Hindu mythology,Manu is a title accorded the progenitor of humankind. The Slavic forms (Russian muzh "man, male" etc.) are derived from a suffixed stem *man-gyo-. *Manus in Indo-European mythology was the first man, see Mannus, Manu (Hinduism)
In Old English the words wer and wīf (and wīfmann) were used to refer to "a man" and "a woman" respectively, while mann had the primary meaning of "adult male human" but could also be used for gender neutral purposes (as is the case with modern German man, corresponding to the pronoun in the English utterance "one does what one must").

From the web:
This remarkable work of art isn't a painting. It's a dissection of the entire human nervous system, removed from the body and left intact. The dissection was done by two students at the Kirksville Osteopathic College in the 1920's.
