The remote history of complexity sciences uses to be unknown under the argument that they are a group of fields of knowledge that had their development in XX century, however, the generating ideas of the thesis defended by complexity sciences, in special the idea of complex system, come from long before. The discovery of pulmonary circulation has revolutionized the way of understanding medicine in the context of change of the hippocratic-galenic paradigm that had influence until very late in the Middle Age, also, this discovery was very full of elements that sustain the fact of considering it as an event of great importance in the historical development of the early ideas of complexity sciences and the recognition of the human body as a complex system.
