The History Of Prosthetics

I did some research into where it is that prosthetic's first originated from and learnt some very interesting history. It relates back to as early as 2750-2625 BC during The Fifth Egyptian Dynasty. It started with prosthetic limbs made out of copper or wood. Prosthetic's have come a long way since then, involving technology and science to make the most realistic limbs possible.
