Week 5 Notes: The early years of bias

 "To her, evidence of the earliest true civilization was a healed femur, a leg bone, which she held up before us in the lecture hall. She explained that such healings were never found in the remains of competitive, savage society"

first civilization= medicine

globalization caused uniformity in medicine

 European medieval medicine and Spanish medicine spread

calderas and the Aztecs are good examples of conquests and medicine

Aztec priests had medicinal knowledge which the Spanish destroyed

passed down plant knowledge through natives

the catholic church highly influenced medicine due to their global influence

native medicine was based off surroundings as that is what they had

only had medicine for their tribe and was specialized

native medicine also relied more on rituals of the spirit

religion in medicine is a good point for more bias because so much of bias against anyone is based on religion
