A monumental synthesis of a half century of research, this book
investigates three communities from the ancient Nubian civilization
of the Nile River Valley. Excavations in this region first inspired
the "biocultural approach" to human biology now used by
anthropologists worldwide, and Life and Death on the Nile
exemplifies the very best of this perspective. It is the life's
work of two highly accomplished anthropologists. George Armelagos
and Dennis Van Gerven present studies of cranial morphology and
evolution in Nubian populations. They look at patterns of
physiological stress and disease, as well as growth and
development, in infants and children. They study bone fractures and
age-related bone loss in adults, and they discuss case studies of
diseases such as cancers and congenital defects. Focusing on the
link between human biology and the cultural and natural
environment, they provide a holistic view of the lives of ancient
Nubian peoples.
