The correct response is Andreas Vesalius. Vesalius is known for his significant contributions to the study of human anatomy and for challenging Galen's theories, which were largely based on animal dissections rather than human ones. His work, particularly "De humani corporis fabrica," marked a turning point in the understanding of human anatomy.
