Product Description
This book looks at ancient medicine and explains why humans faced new challenges when they began to live together in large communities. It shows how some physicians realised that disease might have natural causes, not supernatural ones. This meant that diseases could be treated by natural methods and prevented by improving public health.This series tracks changes to human understanding of health and disease through history. It uses 'common confusions' panels to tackle myths and misunderstandings, biography panels to describe innovators, and word banks to explain challenging and unfamiliar terms.
