- W4242140439 abstract "This book is an account of half a century of scientific investigation of life and death in three ancient Nubian communities. The research coheres around a single, unifying theme: namely that the evolution and adaptation of human populations, both living and dead, results from a complex interaction between human biology and the cultural and natural environment. This has come to be known as a biocultural approach.Each chapter is a presentation of one aspect of our program of biocultural analysis. The analyses of cranial morphology investigates the relationship changes in the Nubian diet and the evolution of craniofacial anatomy. Our research on infants and children analyzes the relationship between the nutritional and disease environments in which they lived and the manifestation of disease and physiological stress, as evidenced in their bones and teeth including cribra orbitalia and enamel defects. The study of the adults likewise focuses on the diseases and stresses of aging in their cultural setting.Finally, there is a shift in focus from case studies of communities at large to case studies of individuals and the disease conditions afflicting them. Each case is taken from the basics of diagnosis to a consideration of the cultural setting in which these conditions – some of them grievous – ran their course. The book concludes with a discussion of whether studies such as ours give us insight into the lives of these Nubian folk beyond the material aspects of their remains." @default.
