What did prehistoric trephination involve, and what was it believed to achieve?

It involved cutting or drilling a hole through the skull of a living person, apparently to release the evil spirit thought to be causing their disturbed behaviour.

How did Hippocrates break with the supernatural view of madness?

He argued that disturbed behaviour came from an imbalance of the four bodily humours of blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile, locating the cause inside the body rather than with the gods.

Why is humoural theory regarded as an ancestor of the modern medical model?

Because it treated madness as a physical disturbance of the body that could be corrected by physical means, which is the same reasoning the medical model uses today.
