Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
The Routledge Handbook of Paleopathology is a comprehensive guide to the study of ancient diseases. It begins by exploring the current methods and techniques used by paleopathologists to generate and analyze data, as well as the limitations and goals of the field. The volume then introduces a range of diseases and conditions that have been observed in fossil, archaeological, and historical records, providing readers with a foundational understanding of pathological conditions and their potential causes.
To demonstrate the importance of adopting anthropological, biological, and clinical approaches when exploring the past and interpreting the modern world, the book offers an evolutionary and highly contextualized assessment of diseases and conditions. Chapters highlight how analyses of health and disease in skeletal and mummified remains reflect political and social constructs of the past and present. The book also explores health and disease within evolutionary perspectives across deep time and generations, and the nuanced interplay between disease and behavior.
The Routledge Handbook of Paleopathology is an indispensable resource for archaeologists, bioarchaeologists, historians, and those in medical fields. It reflects the current scholarship within paleopathology and its impact on our understanding of health and disease in the past, the present, and the implications for our future.
