On the Nature of Man is a work in the Hippocratic Corpus. On the Nature of Man is attributed to Polybus, the son in law and disciple of Hippocrates, through a testimony from Aristotle's History of Animals. However, as with the many other works of the Hippocratic Corpus, the authorship is regarded as dubious in origin.
