It is not strange at all that, with such an advanced stage of medical science, knowledge of Anatomy was not lacking. For instance, it was possible to distinguish between two heads (sisāni): whether of male or of female. For it was known that the sutures (sibbāni) in a man's head are straight (ujukāni) and ......in a woman's head they are crooked (vaṅkāni).³ We are not in a position to ascertain the truth of this statement, but the fact that anatomy of different parts of the human body was known and studied cannot be gainsaid.⁴
