La Humanidad llega a nuestros días después de haber pasado por diferentes etapas. Separadas por grandes distancias, tiempos, mitos y costumbres, en casi todas las culturas del mundo antiguo, primaron las divinidades que acompañadas por ofidios, tenían relación con la vida, la salud, la fecundidad o la longevidad.Desde el punto de vista del historiador de la Medicina, nos introducimos en un tema de antropología cultural, en un intento resumido de explicar la presencia de la serpiente en los caduceos de las Ciencias de la Salud.Los asiáticos reverenciaron a la cobra; los africanos al pitón; los aborígenes australianos, a la serpiente arco iris y los americanos, a la cascabel.Templos en honor de la diosa serpiente fueron erigidos por druidas y navajos; por chinos; brahmanes y apaches. La serpiente se convirtió en símbolo de la sabiduría; riqueza; prudencia; fortaleza; salud; convalecencia; longevidad; rejuvenecimiento e inmortalidad. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
