Charaka's knowledge of genetics
[edit]Shifted from main page as what the cited source mentions cannot be called genetics.
Charaka knew the fundamentals of genetics.[1] For instance, he knew the factors determining the sex of a child. A genetic defect in a child, like lameness or blindness, he said, was not due to any defect in the mother or the father, but in the ovum or sperm of the parents (an accepted fact today). -Mohanbhan (talk) 03:16, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
References
Charaka or any of the Ancient Indians never had known about Ovum. Almost all scriptures treated Semen as a seed (‘Beeja’). They never realised that it wasn’t the semen but the Sperm cells that did the job ChandlerMinh (talk) 05:31, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
Germs
[edit]i have removed the statement that Charaka samahita talks about germs before modern science and the source "About The Date Of Caraka, The Famous Ancient Physician" http://www.infinityfoundation.com/mandala/t_es/t_es_agraw_caraka_frameset.html Isn't even reliable and doesn't even qualify for Wikipedia reliable source as it talks about fringe theory that Charaka samhita talks about germs and cells before modern science.
