Paleopathology is the study of diseases and injuries in ancient human and animal remains. By examining skeletal remains, researchers can identify signs of conditions such as arthritis, tuberculosis, and trauma. This field helps us understand how diseases affected populations in the past and how they evolved over time. The findings in paleopathology can provide insights into the lifestyles, diets, and health of ancient societies. For example, studying the remains of Egyptian mummies can reveal information about the health challenges faced by ancient Egyptians. This research contributes to our knowledge of human history and the development of medicine.
