Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death
worldwide today, but are not just a modern phenomenon. To explore
the deep roots of CVDs in human history, this book, for the first
time, brings together bioarchaeological evidence from different
periods, as old as 5000 BC, and geographic locations from Alaska to
Northern Africa. Experts in their fields showcase the powerful tool
set available to bioarchaeology, which allows a more comprehensive
reconstruction of the human past through evidence for disease. The
tools include aDNA and histological analyses and digital imaging
techniques for studying skeletal and mummified human remains. The
insights gained from these studies are not only of value to
historical research but also demonstrate how the science of
archaeological human remains can provide the long view of the
history of disease and contributes to modern biomedical research
within the context of evolutionary medicine.
