Human paleopathology during the stone age

The term of paleopathology began to be widely used from the 20 century onwards. The earliest attempt to solve some biomedical problems was first recorded in the 19 century, when John Collins Warren (1778-1856), an American surgeon, spoke in 1822 about the artificial cranial lesion observed in a human skull of a native South American. In the early 20 century, Armand Ruffer (1910) described paleopathology as the study of the evidence of disease in human remains from several archaeological sites. RÉSUMÉ
