About This Item

New York: Frederick A Praeger. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1966. Hardcover. Blue cloth with original, price clipped edge worn dust jacket. 288 pp., including 88 Photographs, 33 line drawings, 4 tables, 3 graphs and 1 histogram. #37 of Ancient Peoples and Places, series, (Thames & Hudson.) Abstract "Bones, Bodies and Disease is concerned with the technical aspects of diseases which have left traces on prehistoric human skeletal remains and with depictions of disease in primitive sculptures, drawings, and paintings. Wells' studies in anthropology and medicine have proved to be an excellent preparation for this book which is actually a history of prehistoric and primitive medicine. The book is written for the medical historian. Paleopathology is clearly and succinctly presented. The evidence available, the types of abnormalities, skeletal adaptations, cannibalism, trephination, radiographic evidence, artificial interference, and the simulation of pathological conditions by postmortem changes and soil conditions are all discussed." Complete review: JAMA Internal Medicine. November, 1964. Joseph B. Raddin, MD. ; Ancient Peoples and Places; Vol. 37; 8vo .
