This dimension groups medical discoveries by the year or era in which they were made. Wikipedia notes that humorism was widely accepted before it "was gradually replaced by the germ theory of disease, leading to effective treatments and even cures for many infectious diseases," a shift that itself took place over a specific span of years. Browsing by discovery era lets a visitor compare discoveries made in the same period.
