Piers D. Mitchell

Sanitation, Latrines and Intestinal Parasites in Past Populations (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together experts from around the world to explore how sanitation affected our ancestors. By its end, readers will realise that toilets were in use in ancient Mesopotamia even before the invention of writing, and that flushing toilets with anatomic seats were a technology of ancient Greece at the time of the minotaur myth. While past views on sanitation were different to those of today, it is clear than many societies took sanitation far more seriously than previously thought.
