Abstract
This article highlights the historical and legal foundations of the development of medicine and humankind. Based on the analysis of the results of archaeological, anthropological studies and historical sources, we legally proved that starting with the very early stages of human development, medicine existed alongside the primitive man.While investigating the state of medicine in ancient Egypt, we came to the conclusion that treatment not only helped people, but sometimes, on the contrary, greatly damaged the health of patients. For example, many recipes included the obligatory use of manure, which contains products of fermentation and mold, which is very dangerous to the body and health. However, despite these negative results, we can argue that medical practice in ancient Egypt was well developed. The The studies of this period made it possible to conclude that medicine develops in an inextricable connection with human development, and the obtained medical knowledge is used by society for its well-being.The study of the development of medicine and humanity in Ancient India gives grounds for arguing that due to advanced medical education. Society has come to the conclusion that medicine is an integral part of human life and a guarantee of its development and continuation. It was during this period that humankind switched to a new stage of healthcare when the state control of medicine emerges. It was in India where state institutions began to consider the medical sector as one of the main tools for guaranteeing the well-being of citizens. And in ancient China, medicine gained state support and became the foundation of the society’s development at the one level with religion.The results obtained in the course of our study are based on historical facts, they prove that medicine arose with the appearance of human and subsequently existed and developed along with human development.

The history of medicine and the history of humankind development has a long history of establishment
Some scholars point out that it first appeared in ancient Egypt, but scientists did not come to a common consensus
Medicine already existed alongside the primitive man at the earliest stages of human development
Summary
The history of medicine and the history of humankind development has a long history of establishment. There are many scientific discussions about the fact that medicine began to originate in Ancient Greece. Some scholars point out that it first appeared in ancient Egypt, but scientists did not come to a common consensus. That is why the topic of our study, as well as the very issue of the origin and development of medicine in ancient times, is relevant and requires a detailed study. The purpose of our research is to establish the timing of the birth of medicine, the stages of development and the establishment of legal facts of its existence in ancient times, as well as to prove the validity of the theory that mankind and medicine could not exist separately from each other
