Synopsis

This book investigates the development of medicine from its shamanistic origins to the present day, with detailed consideration of the medical practices of the ancient Egyptians, the Greeks and Romans, and the civilizations of the Middle East and Far East. The author brings together the latest research in the fields of anthropology, archaeology, philology, and the history of science to present a comprehensive work that uncovers the origins of our medical practices. In doing so, the author demonstrates that our modern healthcare system has roots in the folklore, magic, and superstition of our ancestors.
