description This book comes from a paleopathologist of the new generation, with free acess to internet and the significant amount of literature that flourished after the eighties. In spite of that, the author declares his impossibility to finding holistic and systematic approaches to the study of health and disease of ancestors. Paleopathology literature, as in so many other scientific fields, became more and more narrow in topics and very specific analysis providing insights on health and disease. Focusing is part of the investigation proccess in science, of course, but somehow even the scientific investigators, and perhaps the students, feel they need to discussing in a more contextual and holistic perspective. This book was drawn to fill the gap: it is neither a compendium of diseases of the past, nor a guide for diagnosis, but a promenade from paleopathology to different fields related to the understanding of health in human populations.
