Era (First Described)

Era first described places a health concept in the period when it was first written down. Wikipedia notes that basic forms of germ theory date to 1546, yet the idea was "held in disdain in Europe, where Galen's miasma theory remained dominant" for centuries afterward. Browsing by this dimension shows how long some ideas waited before being accepted.
