Live Science · Copper Age woman survived two skull surgeries up to 4,500 years agoBy Jennifer Nalewicki

@ScienceDesk Who thinks they dug into her skull because she was so crabby a few days every month???

@ScienceDesk

No one not already aware will not easily believe that since the neolithic age humans have had trepanation, skull surgery. And healed. There are thousands of skulls in museums and universities, skulls with not just healing, but second surgeries.
