Medical and Veterinary Sciences
Medical science and the study of pharmacology saw great developments in Central Asia in the Middle Ages. The growth of scholasticism encouraged the study of science, and was enriched by the variety of cultural influences from pre-Islamic societies that shaped the Caliphate, notably scientific works in Persian. China, India and Tibet all played a large part in the development of medical theories and medicines themselves, and veterinary science had emerged as another branch of scientific knowledge by the 15th century.
