In our western world roots from the ancient egyptian and greek art, like the Venus of Willendorf, to our Christianity beliefs of Jesus, though own scientific knowledge from the ancient greek, to the renaissance like Leonardo Da Vinci's studies of the human body, and to todays scientific and religious knowledge, the time changing keeps goes on.
