Ancient people got sick ?!

What happened when humans got sick 50,000 years ago? No hospitals. No antibiotics. No modern doctors. But ancient humans weren't completely helpless. Archaeologists have found evidence of people using plants, caring for the injured, surviving severe illnesses — and even undergoing surgery thousands of years before modern medicine existed. From a Neanderthal with a painful dental infection to a person in Borneo who survived a leg amputation around 31,000 years ago... The story of ancient medicine is much stranger than you might think. And sometimes, the first tools of medicine weren't machines or laboratories. They were observation, memory, and other people. Welcome to Weird Humanity. Because humanity has always been a little stranger than we think. #WeirdHumanity #AncientHistory #HumanHistory #Archaeology #History #Science
